Just follow the guidelines - Pace and Cap

atkinsrr · 09-16-2013, 03:18 AM

Hi FTL just read your commentary and I'm a little confused about one thing...I've read in the follow ups. i.e. (FU #84 page 38) that we should not use pacelines where a horse was beaten by 7.5 lengths or more...yet you used a pace line on #3 Lucky River where he lost 6 lengths in the stretch and was beaten by 13 lengths. I don't understand how this can be called a "+" race. Can you please direct me to the follow up issues that "Doc" talks about pace line selection only using a "+" race. I have looked thru all of my follow ups and can't find anything on that subject....am I missing something here??
please help...Thx
