The Interelationship Between Taulbot, Sartin And Randy Giles (PaceAppraiser)
 

Here's an interesting quote by Randy Giles of PaceAppraiser that shows the interelationship of Taulbot, Sartin and the Randy Giles schools of thought.
As you will read and conclude they are all in agreement.
To my mind this is the key to successful handicapping and the statements herein are time tested and proven.

Well said
 

Seems like a quote worth repeating, so here it is:

Randy Giles:

"But best of all, Ray Taulbot stated for posterity (paraphrased), “The superior horse is one that can set or overcome the speed of the pace against which it ran.”

In a 1995 American Turf Monthly article, Doc Howard Sartin elaborated on Taulbot’s pace philosophy: “Taulbot’s premise was that the pace of the race itself matters at least as much as the actual pace of the horse – how well a horse handled the pace of the race it ran against. He placed particular emphasis on horses that could overcome the fastest second call and secondary importance on those leading at the second call”……..”

In this era of so many short prices from obvious choices, it behooves us to gain the ability to find longshots. I know of no better source than the “pace of the race – pace of the horse” relationship as postulated by the late Ray Taulbot.”

That’s what Sartin said. Starting with Ray Taulbot these simple yet profound statements have been imprinted in my brain".

Hi Ted,

I am glad you liked this post.
I'm happy you recognize it's value
.
I am posting with half a heart.
I am trying to keep my mind off of some very serious matters
that have occurred as of late. I can only pray that things get better.
My wife is very ill.

I'm going to try and compete in this years contest marathon and it should lighten things up for me a little bit.

I reviewed the instructional video that Bill V. posted and I liked it.
I hope to see some more in the near future. Please continue with them.

Bill,

Please know that all our thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife. Wishing you courage for whatever life brings.

And very best wishes to you in the PA Contest series in 2013 - I'll try to give you a run for your money!

best,

Ted
