match

I do not understand?
1. First, decide the horse that is likely to take the lead. In picking the horse that is going to take the lead, find a horse that has truly been in the lead at the first call. In the event none of the horses definitely had the lead, use a time where a horse tried for the lead or was up close. Next, find a horse that was in the lead at the second call. Use the same procedure explained in finding the first call. Next, find a final time that matches the first two calls, and you have the projected pace of today's race. Never add beaten lengths to any of the fractional calls. Horses that do not match today's pace are will have difficulty winning.

How do you match up the first two calls with the final time? What should the match up look like?

Paul....
Determine the "projected" 1st call by a horse that has been in the lead...mark his time

next determine the 2nd call time by a horse that had the lead at the 2nd call..

now that you have the 2 times look at all the horses pp's to see if any match the projected times you just got and then you use that final time for your projected race

hope this helps

note: you should use this with horses that "are" early horses and not with horses that show it once in a while

So if you find one horse that can run to the 1st. call time and the 2nd call time and win with his final time that is the horse to bet?

[mikesal57]

that will be the "projected times"...but now you need to compare this to the other horses in the race to get your contenders

Mike thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Please do I have to have one horse that can run to the 1st. call time also the 2nd call time and have a final time that is as fast or faster that the horses that ran the 1st call time or 2nd call time. What makes a contender, do they have to have times for each call that is as good or better then the early call horses or can they only have one time for each call that is a good or better. Do you only use one of the last two races to get this horse?
What are your win percentages? Does this method work for you?
