Dick,
I wanted to ask your opinion concerning pace pressure, but not just EARLY pace pressure which leads to OTE outcomes. We often see one E type with varying numbers of Quirin speed pts and then a glut of P1s. Using the Segments screen you can often see this second tier of pressers fighting just like Early horses for the mid pack positions. If the F1 and 2nd call numbers are close, it looks like a way to toss them in favor of deeper closing types. Wondering if you have noticed the same?
Also, something came up this week redoing last weeks races while trying to educate myself to your methods. I have seen several 0-0 and even 0-0-0 horses on the Segments screen, but with the worst Vdc of any of my contenders. I have yet to see one of those horses win, however, a few have hit the board in other places. Previously, I had considered these dominant early types to be golden, but I have modified that view in light of recent observations.
Many thanks for your thoughts on these subjects.
Bill
