Good point, Bill. It makes little sense to criticize Doc Sartin because the instructions he gave for Validator, an energy based program, may not apply to Speculator, which he had nothing to do with, probably never saw and is at heart a velocity based program.
If you enter a horse beaten more than 7.5 lengths into Speculator, it will be penalized for the full amount of beaten lengths. If it still shows up good in the rankings you may well have a good bet.
If you enter a horse beaten more than 7.5 lengths into Validator, it may be penalized considerably less for those beaten lengths and show up better in the rankings than its performance merits.
