it's cool. I miss **** too.
One of the things I can tell you to help picking things like this up is FOCUS on the LEFT side of the running line. While most look to the right of the running line ( finish, speed rating, track variant, adjusted times etc etc) the matchup JIM'S way looks LEFT for it's hidden power.
1) Break
2) 1st fraction in routes
3) 1c
4) 2c
5) running styles based on 1c POSITION
6) Understanding that a gain or loss of POSITIONS involves units of ENERGY
Of this I am CERTAIN ok?

These last 2 races involve early PATTERNS on very STRONG horses. I can not tell you how important it is to get these races in your "HEAD" ok? I am serious.
**Tip** - Handicap every race the SAME way. Whether a 4.5f DIRT race at CT to an 11f TURF race at Belmont. Work every race the SAME way.
Do they always win? We know the answer is no.
However I have never had a game plan so CLEAR in my mind. This comes from working hundreds of races with Jim and seeig him do the same process regardless of distace or surface.
