1) Do you matchup using only raw pps?

Always

2) Do you use software to help you match?

Only to confirm the results of matching.

3) Do you project a pace? If so how?

I project a 1st call regardless of distance. I am less vigilant about projecting the pace of the whole race.

4) Do you follow Hat's 5 step approach?

I project pace and I look at tandems. I mark the running styles of each horse. I look fo rrunning lines based on anticipated first call. I do not always match horses against each other.

5) Do you work 1 or 2 tracks at most or do you multi-track looking for plays?

Multi-track.

6) Do you set days back restrictions on how far back in the pps to go looking to evaluate runners(if yes how many please)? Do you consider the ENTIRE pps of the horse?

No restriction on days back. I look at the entire PPs.

7) Do you focus and evaluate the horse coming out of the FPLR(fastest pace last race) in EVERY race worked? Do you know how to find the FPLR?

I haven't been very good about this. I know it is important.

8) Do you have a SURFACE preference(dirt,poly,turf) and or distance structure (sprint,route) that you focus on when matching races?

No preference.

9) Do you "SPOT PLAY" certain race types?

I spot play early horses that need the lead that are shortening up and sprinters stretching into a route.

10) Do you "pick" a winner then stick with him as the ONLY consideration or do you get a final "mix" of 2-3 contenders and look for value to make a WIN bet?

I pick a winner.

11) With "E" runners do you pay attention to those who are "FIGHTERS"?

Absolutely. Very important.

12) Do you keep records of ANY kind beside wagering ones? If yes which ones please

I'm a poor record keeper. I don't keep records.

13) How much time a week do you devote to matching races? Approximate

8 hours a week.

14) Do you break down a race into "Early" or "Other than Early" groupings?

Yes.
