Last races are killer on both, neither seemed indicative.

Threw out the 8 last race because TODAYS pace would be much slower, based on his 2nd and 3rd back, would make HIM 2nd, and in addition, the horse always seem to fold when he is not 1st or 2nd at the 1st call.

Would compare the 1 last race to the other two, and if no trouble line comment, would say he was declining.

But am not sure if I would throw him (the 1 horse) out if I felt the race was going to run Other-Than-Early, would have to compare him to the other OTE horses in the race.

Not that I would have won it, but this shows why THE HAT does not do "what if" scenarios.

Like he said on tape, someone called him and said, "ok jimmy, I got horse A who runs a 22 - 45- 110 all the way, and I got a 2nd horse who runs a
21.4-44.4 110, who wins the race?"

THE HAT said he told him, " you made up the race, YOU pick it."

Like he said on the Vegas 91 tape that this race will run ONE TIME only and will NEVER be run again. You'll never see it again.

I think I recall where he said he looks at non-contenders to "see" if anyone can "hurt" "HIS" horse.

He looks at the ENTIRE race and the ENTIRE performance of ALL the LINES of ALL the horses that are going to race in that race today.
