We believe the five horse will run the same positions as in the fast sprints his beaten lengths will be closer.
I changed the last two position of the fast sprints to 3-1 from the route line. The positions in these races are now 8-7-3-1 and 7-6-3-1. This gives me a feel of moves in today’ race, These are advanced match up techniques and is procedures I have taught Rich.

This
is voodoo. In the 12 years or so I have been studying the MatchUp, I don't think I have ever been able to do anything quite like this. Most of the time I feel it is still way over my head, and there's a lot that I just don't comprehend.
Like Jim says, every race is different. It's really very hard to determine which techniques to use in which race for every different situation. There is always some "fly" in the ointment. Sometimes I just get lost in the shuffle, and I don't yet have the confidence to say, "Yup, there's the winner," which I know is what must happen to successfully apply this technique.
Nonetheless, it's fascinating to read and think about.
I appreciate you sharing with us, Jim. You'll always be number one in my book.
