Now we branch off into 2 groups. Those that are looking early and those that are looking O.T.E.
1) Early - If you are in this group as I was when first being exposed to this concept we have lost the race. It's perfectly ok as we can't learn without having failed at first.
I will be contacting each of you privately by PM within the next day or so with some feedback I got from Jim after I had lost it and want to pass it along.Some of it is personal in nature.
2) Other than Early (O.T.E.) - If you are in this group you have decided that early can NOT win. Therefore throw them ALL out now for win consideration.
a) IF you have multiple early designated contenders (more than 2) do NOT consider for win an O.T.E. who runs from POSITION 2 at the FIRST call. He will be "sucked into" the earlies and killed off. This has been posted about in Hat Check over a year ago.
b) If you have 3 earlies they are taking up 3 POSITIONS when the gate pops. So you want to take for your horse the O.T.E. who sits 4th at the FIRST CALL against today's pace (1 tick or so either way). Look at ALL of this horses pp's. He MUST show the ability to PASS horses on MULTIPLE races . If you find this THAT is the horse you bet. That is your horse.
c) If you can NOT find a horse described in part "b" look for POSITION 5 and 6 horses at the FIRST call against similar 1st c pace. They MUST show a POWER MOVE (passing MORE than 2 horses between calls) from the 1c-2c or 2c-sc to be considered for the win. They MUST show this. If you find this and a horse described in part "b" is not present THIS is your horse.
Straight from Jim's lips to this page man. Do NOT consider power moves made from the stretch call to the finish (sc-fin) as legit. Do NOT.
d) if you can NOT find either type of horse described in "b" and "c" PASS the race for now.
Later on you will be shown what to consider when this happens but it is well beyond the scope of this thread ok?
There it is guys. What do you see?? Talk to me!
