What the heck am I supposed to do with the 19 things mentioned above? That is a whole lot of information. Talk about overload!

Where do I start? I am just a beginner to these concepts. Which ones do I prioritize? What does all this mean?

Intuition. I don’t have much of that to be honest. Do I need it? Is it something that can be acquired? If I can practice and improve it HOW do I do this?

I keep reading of the importance of the quiet mind to this methodology. Cut to the chase please. HOW the heck do I ACCOMPLISH this?

When does running against the FPLR (fastest pace last race) open the door to a potential spot play? When is it actually a NEGATIVE factor for a horse? Yes you read that right. Jim showed me a SPECIFIC situation where this is TRUE. You will be shown this in the webinar.

I am a tournament player. How can I use the matchup concepts to help my play? You guys pick a lot of chalk. What have you got for ME?? I need PRICE horses.

I’m hearing a lot of doublespeak regarding tandem races. What’s up with this? Do I use them or not?

I am not the Hat. I do not have his unique instant insights into races. Same with this Mind’s Eye business. How can you help me at MY level of matching up horses?

HOW can I use all of this to make some real profits at my track? I need a GAME PLAN.


I will address and answer all of the above questions and many others. In the almost 2 years I worked with Jim on a 1 to 1 basis I took copious notes of things HE stressed as vital learning tools to his methodology. While none of us can match the things he did we CAN through PERFECT PRACTICE improve our understanding, application and profitability of Jim Bradshaw’s matchup concepts.

When I worked live cards with Jim he always had me do this pre handicapping ritual if you will. A “Mind’s Eye” primer. I will lay it out for you in spades in the webinar.

In addition Jim showed me 2 special techniques to use in tournament play to identify possible long shot winners/placers that would pad a bankroll. You will INSTANTLY see the PRICE horses to focus some closer work on. It is so simple yet I guarantee virtually nobody does it.

Does it work? Well I am typing this on Tuesday August 5th. Last week I entered the NHC nationwide Breeders Cup Fantasy Challenge. It had been ongoing for a month but because I missed the opening weekend I hadn’t played until I learned I could still win a nice monthly prize.

I went in and using Jim’s EXACT techniques I had the winner in the first race paying $9.60 to win and then a 24/1 shot in the 2nd tourney race that placed paying me $10.60 in the place slot. At week’s end in a tourney consisting of over 2,000 of the nation’s finest cappers my “Cougar” entry (named as a sign of respect for my Cherokee birth sign) ranked FIRST!! You can see my screenshots of the standings and my play in the “Fantasy Challenge” thread in the selections forum on Pace and Cap. Direct result of applying what Jim laid out for me and which has NEVER been revealed in the Hat Check forum. I will lay it out for you in spades in the webinar.

After my initial presentation to all of the attendees (there will also be question/answer time here) I will go through 3 cards of races from the previous day showing MY way of doing things. I look for obvious spot plays. I will show you what I do and the order I do it. Past performances will be provided for all attendees.

Then we will spend time addressing each attendee’s problem area one by one. I will tell you upfront I do NOT have all the answers ok? However I DO have some of them.

After a break we will gather and look at 3-4 cards of races that day/night that have NOT run yet to see what we can find. Past performances will be provided for all attendees. Everyone will join in and we will have some fun looking at and hopefully profiting from some plays.


I have all day and night. That is why there is no “end time” for the seminar. This has been over a year in planning. I will do everything I can to make sure you are satisfied with the event. When I was discussing this with Jim last year he told me to make myself available to everyone after all the presentations etc were finished. He told me flat out “Rich these folks are gonna have lots of questions. If you are gonna do this then do it right.” I will do just that.

Beginning and intermediate matchers THIS webinar is for YOU!!

If you would like a seat at the Matchup Webinar to be held on Saturday October 18th starting at 11 AM Eastern Time please let me know by replying to this thread.

Also please list the ONE thing that you need the most help/understanding of regarding Jim Bradshaw's Matchup concepts so I can help you personally during the webinar. Everyone's needs will be addressed.

There are a limited number of seats available.

A VERY large mailing about the webinar will go out to others who have expressed interest in learning the matchup to both Jim and myself on September 10th. I am giving members here at Pace and Cap first crack at the seats the same way Jim gave us his 5 step approach before the book came out.

We will finalize everything by Friday October 3rd. Until then good matching!
