These horses are pretty easy to pick Pacelines for as they have only a few, but FL, or Mtr seem to be harder as we have plenty of horses that are coming in off long layoffs, that is when I get a little worried about what to choose, and tend to lean towards a race with todays distance !st, then one where it was within a cycle, not just the best one, but then sometimes you want the hporses best possible , see how I get confused, not too hard for me. Shippers from other tracks , better tracks seem to be just that better tracks and pacelines are what they adjusted for this track today, is that correct, so finding a line is still a art form, that either lost of practice or coin flipping, dart throwing or many other forms of chance can be used to get the right one, especially if one obvious one is not available, like sprinter only, no turf race lines, router only, no recent races, and no current race distances to choose from either, so how does one make the right choice each time, what else would he look for?

I will refrain from adding my own personal two cents to this ( so as not to confuse you further ) and suggest that to begin with, just follow the guidelines. That is, "best of last 3, distance surface". Once you are comfortable with that, you can either stay with it, because you are happy with your results OR experiment a little, while monitoring your results. In time you will develop your own method of picking pace lines.
REMEMBER, if you don't like the race, you can always PASS IT!

Good Luck!
