THAT takes Disipline. Learning the MatchUp, we just want to tear into races. Should be looking at races for the above quoted reason; to solidify patterns , looking at race cards as an INTERACTIVE learning lab. As I write this, trying to get my mind wrapped around doing just this , consistantly, but boy, it's hard.
  • But keying in on races you KNOW you can win is the elementary steps to MatchUp confidence. You are an example of that, Richie.
  • Also, DEEPER analysis of a horse is necessary. I see that that LAST line was, in fact , a GOOD race. The horse is NORMALLY 6th to 9th position back, he maintained POSITION and BEATEN lengths against a pace he doesnt normally handle, in addition to PASSING horses against 109's and finishing 5th. TODAY, we are looking for the best Other-than-Early. Good insight, Richie, Thank You.
