What do you consider "comparable" class?

When today's class is say 76, how low would you go to consider comparable? Or is it better to consider looking at the 2'nd call pace?

Hi dcox


I use the race class rating, but I don't have a rule like that
Every race I have to consider a few things
I don't have any limit as a rule I use them to rate each horse

Basically I'm looking at the best of the last three or 4 races.
I am looking for the highest adjusted speed rating near or over 80
And against the highest race class

the variables are The race class number is not a Sartin Methodology
number So I just use it as a equalizer
the apv and CR numbers a a part of my thinking

Lets say the race class is 76
Having looked at these numbers for a few years,
I know this is a so-so race probably a mid range claiming race

The horse I am looking at has a 80 speed rating in a 78 race class
The race before it had a 78 speed rating same distance and track
but it was a maiden win and the race class was 72

Now here is the thing
The horse is in the top 5 APV and top 3 Class ratings
Its APV was 101.1
So in this race I want the other horse to be near the 76 Race Class from TM


Ok now the next horse has two lines
line 1 has a 75 Speed rating It was this horses maiden claimer win
The race class was a 67
The other 2 lines ,as well as the other races in the horses past performance
all had upper 60's speed ratings while running in 65 -68 race ratings

This horse had a very low APV and Class rating
like 60.6

The thing I'm looking at here is I'm not going to go very deep
for a pace line

long post short I try to use the RC number to judge each horse
I find that if the speed rating is near or over 80
or very close to the fastest horses in the race I try to use
lines from races close to the race rating from TM


Thanks
GS
Bill

Bill - Are you saying that for higher classed horses you will go a little deeper for pacelines? Is that Sartin or did you pick that up through expierence?

Here is one that gets me I notice using best of last three that I almost always have some high odds horse in top 3 while one of fav's out of top 5. Should this concern me or possibly be more demanding of these horses.

I have just started charting or modeling my tracks (very time consuming). But I have alrady noticed a few things but still too early. In the last 2 days have hit 12 of 36 tri's on (play money). Hope it continues.

Always read all your post. Thanks for your help and work at this site.

Hello dcox

Thank you very much for asking me

I kind of do favor the top apv and CR horse I will go back a little bit
and help these horses I picked this up reading about apv and class
from the follow ups -early ones!
I kind of fell into looking at races this way..
I am very honored that I can look at any race from any track
thanks to a gift from Trackmaster
Every time I see races posted here on pace and cap
I almost always do the race myself
or at least look at the BLBL readouts and line selection from the poster

When folks post screens from Rdss I easily can see where the Red yellow
and green box horses are. After time I noticed that the horse with these colors were doing well .

So I started to focus on them when I did races
If i can just add, The numbers should mean something to you
not what they mean to me...

anyway in the above example Everything depends on the APV and CR
of this horse and the other horses in the race

I like the last line 77 speed rating
I see the 90 race class for the second line \
Now I see the 82 from line 3 at Lonestar This is where the class and apv would help me
If this was what I say to myself a good strong horse I would use line 3
If the readouts showed this horse to be average or poor I would use line 1

What reasons do I have to help or take the last race as the
line for your example horse

This is what I try to do

Thank you so much for your interest
GS
Bill

So you are not strict with best of last 3. Very interesting! I have read most of FU's starting with about 70, would I be well served by reading earlier, also. What other reading would you suggest - read Brohamer and Pizzola.

Here is the race showed earlier:
