Hello Jeff
to answer your question 2 ways
1. Using off lines to pick contenders
2. What happens if todays track is off
#1
If I am picking lines and
if its a lightly raced horse I will just avoid the horse
and check the ML odds /betting odds
sort of like a FTS. If there are more than one of these I
pass
For horses with many fast surface lines I check the total energy
for these lines and see if the off track lines are in line
I also check the field size and the finish position
Some times on off tracks there are many scratches
and a horse might run 3rd in a 4 horse race
trailing all the way but running fast enough to
stay close, so If the Total energy or speed rating
is very high compaired to the fast lines I wont use it
# 2 Track is off
Pass and look for a fast track
thanks you simocasting
