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

Sartin programs since about Synthesis onwards use par times (what Doc refers to in FU #85 as Par Gaps), a universal set of pars per distance/surface that helps the sofware adjust distances/surfaces at one track to today's race.

It is debatable whether the universal nature if these pars (as opposed to pars by track) is the best solution, and whether the pars employed in 1998 are still totally accurate today, but there you go. If you employ the Pizzicara/Socantra 'patch' to Validator, you are using a good attempt at an update to these pars.

regards,

Ted
