You guys are what makes this site.

Everyone, Richie, Jim

Sorry to be a ball breaker but I'm going through this 5 step document a line at a time and found a couple of corrections necessary.
The first is here.

There are quite a few Tandems in the race. You may mark them all, but I will mark the main Tandems, which are:

1. FOREVERNESS - Today’s distance at Aqueduct
2. RETRIBUTIO - One Mile at Aqueduct
3. CHILLY ROO - One Mile at Aqueduct
4. DAVE - Today’s Distance at Saratoga

THERE IS NO HORSE CHILLY ROO IN THIS RACE

The paceline for Retribution, four lines back in the PDF with the PP's I have the following times.
47 110.3 135.2 147.4
I don't see the 23.2 time on the PP that is in the 5 step document. Where did that come from?

I'm not trying to nit pick but like I said, I am really going through this and some of the errors had me confused for a while. That's really not a hard thing to do.

I was more confused when I looked at the orignial pacelines in VAL3 and then in Spec and even though they use the same trackmaster data file the original pacelines didn't agree with each other for 1st Call, 2nd Call and Final.
I'll post that one up on another section of the site.
