Revised readouts.

What line did you use for the 6 in race 6. I used line 1, which ranked it 4 and the 2 at 5 on TT. In any case we will find out who was right. rmath and Old Arkie Gal and I do races most weekends and we find that even when we pick the same lines, our readings can be slightly off in some cases.

I used line 5, i did not use line 1 because it was a route and this is a 5f race and simply out of unconscious habit from working thousands of races this way i blocked out the last race at 8f and went to line 5. this may be the wrong decision when it comes to selecting these lines on the turf using this strategy.
Im glad we have a few differences however. Lots of learning can be done through reviewing what was done wrong. You have obviously had success with your line selections so i am going to have to work on trying to best imitate these types of line selections when it comes to the turf.

Meanwhile, over at Woodbine, race isn't playable - to many 1 and 2 liners.
Race 4 10,6,11,1,8 BL would eliminate winner #8, hence the 5 contenders , but Rx would put it in tier 2.
Race 6 - 1,8,2,7 - winner #8 - $6.70
Race 8 - 5,9,6,2 - winner #5 - $3.30

It takes a leap of faith to use only the best of the TPP (I got that particular selection strategy from Ted as I had always used the adjusted). I know it goes against the grain.

I told Richie P. about this earlier today and he has sent me 4 races. Lets see how they did.
GP race 3 - 6,2,1,7 - winner #2 - $7.20
MTH race 9- 5,4,3,8 - winner #5 - $7.60
MTH race 11 - 9,3,12,6 - winner #10 - 7.40 - loss
AP race7 - 6,7,1,5 - winner #4 loss

I needed HE COULD to get up there but thankfully its a WPS contest so i was still able to get a score with him. So far so good. Consistency will be key

D you decide which horse to bet out of your 4 contenders Barb?

Hi raceman5

Once I have the final 4 contenders, I find PF3 to be very strong, and I have other screens, like the Rx Ted has been talking about, and I always keep my eye on the tote and it's trends. In the case of Dmr r1 I would have bet wp on the 5 based all three.

I'm currently not betting; just on paper until I have a better grasp of this. Saratoga being off the turf today, Latekick's invitation and Ted's request gave me a chance to try Dmr.
