Hi Mitch,

I start with the best perceptor of the last 3. I will go back farther if the last 3 are not comparable in distance, surface or class. I also look for a selected paceline that doesn't look normal for that horse. It could be caused by high or low dtv, fast or slow pace, etc. I then determine whether to use it or change it.
For selecting contenders, I start by reading the conditions, then going thru each horses entire pp's twice. By doing that, I get a feel for how the race will be run and who should be the contenders. I've read a lot of posts by yourself, LT1, Bill V, Richie P. members who have a lot of experience with the Sartin methodology.
Thanks, to all.

Phil
