Pace and Cap - Sartin Methodology & The Match Up - View Single Post

As Sartin evolved he discounted Factors that failed to meet or exceed his standards, Fractals is an example. However after introducing things or concepts there were those who always demanded that they remain in new programs. From a business point of view I suppose it made sense. The opposite effect was that there were so many readouts and Factors it made it difficult for most to grasp. It really caused confusion or paralysis by analysis. Even today many fail to grasp the concept as they come and go.

On page 110 of Tom Brohamer's book Modern Pace Handicapping circa 1991, he states that the group or Pirco's basic criteria for a Factor to be considered viable, was that it must consistently rank the winner in the top 4. "Consistently" was defined as 67%.

Ted your absolutely correct that its not part of the Primary Factors, obviously it failed to meet Sartin's standards for inclusion. To survive the game no one should be looking backward or accept a lesser degree of winning, adapt or perish.
