current form and paceline selection
Jim, Id like your thoughts relating current form/condion to the matchup. I know this is somewhat a broad question but I have always wonndered if you have ever asked if the horse can run to the paceline you have selected today.
Many thanks for your thoughts on this. Best Doug |

This is a very difficult question for me to answer, because I’m not sure of the meaning of form and condition . If a hors’s last couple of running line is horrible, I’m not sure is he is out of form, or just a "ugly" horse. I never second guess my self of running line I have selected. If the horse does not run to this line, or I lose the race, then and only then, do I question the line I have selected. In reality I pick the horse and not a running line. Jim |

Hi Jim.
Jim, how do you compare horses that have just started running in the fall when the pace of the races is much slower, with horses that having been running in the Spring and Summer time when the pace of the race was much faster. eg: horse A: runs in the summer and his best times are 22 45 111 horse B: starts running in the fall and his best times are 23 46.2 112.3 Is there any special way that you handle this situation. emilio |

Emilo,
I use all of the lines in the horses past performance and never rely on only one line. The Hat |
