Hat Beginners Class

Jim,I was talking to Bill today and while Richie's posts are good they are more geared to the advanced matchers.I was thinking how about you starting a beginner's class for people like myself who are slower learners and start with easier races to do the match up.I think it would benefit quite a few on board here.Thanks Shoe

Match up 101

Hi Jim and Richie

I think Shoeless has a great idea
I would love to see some races done as in a format like the MU2
were lessons are done like you did in your book Jim The match up 2

It would be helpful to do each race in its own thread

The Hat check area is fantastic
Richie is doing a great job

Ok Guys...

I'll start a Match Up Beginners class. I will not be able to have races posted
until I start go back to the track. Use races that are posted to learn the
early steps.

I. Learn to identify the running style of horses., the running style
is essential in learning the Match Up The three styles were names E, P,
S's.

E -- are horses whose past performance shows that they are
early pace horses. Their position at the first call identifies
their early running style. These horse’s run wire-to-wire.

P--are tactical runners that press the early pace. This running
style is where the horse has an up close position at the first
call, and is up close or in the lead at the second call.
Pressers either run in the second or third position..

S -- are horses that come from off the pace. They are horses
that win from way back, and are horses running behind the
pressers. They are late runners that win when the early runners
have exerted their energy.

The jast two running styles are Other Than Early. This used to decide
how today's race will set-up. Early, or Other Than Early.

Lesson II

Early is a runner that can go wire-to-wire, without a challenge from any other runner in the race.. If this is true the race will run Early. Otherwise, the race is going to run other than early. There are certain things to look for before making the decision, on how the race "sets" up.

Evaluate the runners in today’s race and decide the running style of all runners. Next look at the Early Runners and evaluate them and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Look at the first fraction and see which horse will have the lead.
2. What type of lead does the runner need. Open lengths, or can the
runner fight?
3. What happens if he is challenged?
4. Is there any early challengers in today’s race?
5. Is the runner a quitter?


If there isn’t any horse that has the lead at the first fraction, look at horses that are close to the lead and gains the lead at the second call. Give these horses the lead by default. Most of these races run Other Than
Early.

PACE - LESS




I blew this up to 8 x 11 size and put it where I practice the races , 'cause I
usually forget this part, especially the " gain's the lead at the second call "
part.

An effort to get some grip , handle , insight into PACE-LESS race's.

Thank's for the tool's to work with Mr. Bradshaw and the many you have
already laid out for years.
