What I was really looking for was a faster first and second call fraction.
I was looking for a first fraction of 21.8-22.1 and a second fraction of 46. That would have eliminated the 4-5-6-7-9 and made the win contenders the 8-1. I was really expecting the 8 to take the lead and produce faster fractions.
I did what "The Hat" said to do. I looked at each horses pacelines and selected the fastest of them, then selected what I thought todays' paceline was going to be. If the pace went according to my plan the 8-1 would have came in I think.
I think the stuff I have read so far will work for me but I just have to get better at it. Everything comes with experience.
You guys were right. With the fractions produced here 22.7 and 46.9 the 4 horse should have taken this race if he ran to form. Then either the 6 or the 5. I can't figure the 7 placing here but I have a lot to learn. Not bad for a first shot and just two reads. The fact that "the hat" can accurately predict the fractions is pretty amazing to me.
Thanks for the help guys. This match up stuff is pretty interesting. Hopefully my result will be better in the 7th race. It was easier to work with and I spent more time with it. We'll see real soon now.
