The best thing about doing +s zero's and (+) is that this exercise forces the handicapper to look at the horse's pp's in its entirety.

Too often in the technology driven environment we depend on, we often times gloss over the pp's, instead of giving a real serious look at the horse's history. The easiness of a single click comes at a price.

In the early days of The Methodology, a few teachers said: 'The real work of the Sartin Methodology begins before turning on the computer'.

A very good lesson, for sure.

I have also discovered that when I do the x's and o's and I encounter a horse with all +'s --from the bottom up-- but the immediate last race is an zero, that is a very compelling situation. I often eliminate the horse under most circumstances. This is a powerful signal of a horse going off form.
