With regards to drf variants and using Sartin speed ratings, I presume that you are referring to taking half of the daily track variant in the racing form after the speed index...
I know that you are a main proponent of using Synergism programs, why the need to switch from one program to another, besides saying more than one way to skin a cat...
Thanks for your posting of races which We all can learn from....

I switch and test software all the time. I'm always looking for the better way. I also use more then one tool.
Jim G made the statement "There's more then one way to skin a cat"
Besides being a good friend and a person that I respect and admire, he is an excellent player and you take take whatever he says to the bank.
You can only learn from Jim.
Synergism is a good program but I never really looked into Taulbot.
Pino peaked my interest in it. The Pace Calculator was endorsed by Doc Sartin. He wrote an article on this in the American Turf Monthly.
It explains how the SSR (Sartin Speed rating) works when adjusting the speed rating listed in the Daily Racing Form and from the daily variant which also is listed for the pace line you choose.
I apply this to AmerVar (The Taulbot Pace Calculator)
Additionally, I am a hugh advocate of PaceAppraiser and the Randy Giles method of "Extreme Pace". Contender selection is a piece of cake with PaceAppraiser. I do a complete Match Up with it. I can also single out races where I feel there is a pace advantage and reasonable value.
What I have done recently, in order to take my mind off some very serious issues that have occurred at home, is to put together a workable method combining what I feel will help me achieve success. I am tweaking myself for a number of contest events in the near future.
