Thanks Tim for your insights and illustration of your use of the Scott Form Factors for identifying true Win contenders, or demoting horses from Win contention.

Here is that document for people to download and read, maybe review this video again with that document handy:

Scott's Form Factors (from William L Scott's book: How Will Your Horse Run Today). Document compiled by Mick T (thanks Mick!)

The video replay of today's webinar will follow soon.

Thanks Tim for all your hard work.

As it relates to PRX races how do you handle PEN racelines, or do you?

It seems like all LRL lines at PRX produce lines that are skewed towards being more sustained than PRX, yes , no ?

Lines from AQU or anywhere in the big time circuit on the east coast?

Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill. Bill I just let the program take care of any adjustment. I don't worry about what track the paceline is from. I do know that horses coming from Penn to Parx don't usually fare well[the opposite is true Parx to Penn. The most notable exceptions are those trained by the Beattie family[ they command respect]. As far as horses from the"big time circuits' well frankly they don't worry me. I learned a long time ago [having been a long time NYRA player only] that the bottom is the bottom at any track and they are not as overwhelming as people tend to think. I learned that lesson watching horses trained by the Engleharts and Charlie Baker[before they became known to NY] ship in and win
N.Y shippers lose a lot of races at Parx at short prices.
