Here is the result chart.
Partsnut nails the 15 buck winner ( he likes these matching races eh?
) while Charlie D lays out a perfect horse by horse matchup getting the winner in his final 2 contenders. Dorianmode has the winner in his final mix as well (welcome to the Matchers area btw!)
Dave Edwards - for a 2nd time matcher you are doing good work man. If I can make a suggestion going forward please:
Next race posted here make sure you do NOT look at any other feedback before you analyze the race. Now make 2 "groupings" of "Early" and "Other than early (OTE) horses.
Because I am deliberatly posting larger field (and hopefully contentious)races get each grouping down to 2 horses for a total of 4 final contenders. Now with THESE horses open the pps up all the way and use any and all info you find there to try and reduce to the best E and best OTE final contender. Please use Hat's definition of running styles found in the 5 step approach for this.
I am posting the above for Dave because he wants to work races in Jim's style. Jim worked hundreds and hundreds of races with me and he never paid attention to recency, biases, jockeys etc. The caveat is he would look with caution at early horses who in its last race or 2 could not "get on top of fractions" it could previously. The quote is his exact terminology. The ONLY class allowance he made was to not evaluate horses off maiden lines. Period.
ALL forms of matching are welcome here and I have to say this weeks race had a tremendous response and for this I want to give EVERYONE a huge tip of Jim's "HAT"!
