The "Hat" and Sartin never incorporated PBS numbers in any of their programs. That pretty much tells you their thoughts on it, besides Bradshaw saying he did not believe in it.
Sartin taught the Match Up to Bradshaw who honed it and took it to the next level, It was incorporated into every program and also enhanced as computers became more faster with more memory. It's also within today's RDSS. PBS numbers and adjustments never made the cut, were and are strictly a Pizzola application. A very poor application as compared to the Match Up along with an inaccurate one at that.
Pizzola takes great credit for being a teacher member and in that era, not an easy accomplishment. He deserves credit for that. However I don't believe he ever cracked that inner circle of Sartin, Bradshaw and Brohammer. The real insiders that were loyal. Due to Sartin's chosen field he was a very good judge of character. Pizzola never measured up, which is why he was kicked to the curb.
A good horse like Justify only do what they have to.
Horses decelerate at different rates and a 2 to 1 adjustment rule is a fools errand. The Match Up is much more accurate and accounts for each horses deceleration, which is why its so effective. While it can't account for Unknown factors, it is very accurate for horses that have 3 races at todays distance and surface.
Most using the fulcrum are nothing more than early speed handicappers, unknowingly to most. Early speed is over rated, tend to be favorites and pay poorly. Not a recipe for profits or beating the take which is required to make profits. P and SP pay much better.
My great grand daughter asked me last night at dinner, if I believed in ghosts and the boogie man. A valid question for a 7 year old like her, but not a 30 year old. Some just never get it. Buts that's OK, the game needs them.
