[QUOTE=mufasa;21593
You had given me before on a final time adjustment for different distances 6.2/5 as a solid and proven figure to adjust final times. I am using this and thank you for that. I wonder if this would apply to adjusting the ½-mile time in a Power Line for different distances but of course a fraction of it. I am thinking maybe a half to one-third of the 6+ seconds.
Thanks,
Robert

I was NEVER taught to adjust the 2nd call based on anything other than observing tracks that were either very fast or very slow. These adjustments are made mentally and rely more on "feel" or "instinct" Mu.

The advantage of matching Jim's way is you have TEN pp lines to look at to evaluate. that often allows one to not have to focus on ONE line and instead see the "whole picture" of the horse.

Folks do not like to hear that as it is not concrete/set in stone stuff but it's real man. Thats how I was taught and I am passing it along HONESTLY.
