There is a tacit assumption in the Sartin Methodogy that in every race, there is one particular combination of pace lines for one particular set of true contenders that will accurately predict the outcome of that race. The (often stated by Dr Sartin) objective is to train pattern recognition skills to locate the correct combination. In reality, the assumption that a correct combination exists is based more on faith than fact. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as one doesn't take it too far, and let their ego get in the way of their good sense.
There are some races in which the proper pace line cannot be divined until after the fact. After the race is over, it is relatively easy to find a correlate to today's performance in the past performances of both winners and losers. Those correlates do not necessarily apply to future races that are similar--they may have applied to this specific race, but may not extrapolate well.
