[For The Lead]

This is a $7,500 claiming race for horses that have never won 4 races (NW4L) at 5.5 furlongs.

#1 - SCR
#2 - last line. I could have gone back to the line 3 back because it is the same distance at today's race, but this is an early horse and its' last was was a good 2nd where it ran early.
#3 - last line. this horse has only one race in the last 90 days. it is a (+) race.
#4 - no line. the only sprint line in the last 90 days is the last line, which wasn't very good.
#5 - last line. this horse has three races in the last 90 days, all sprints. the last line is an improvement over the other two. you may wonder why I would use this race. the horse made the lead at the first call and was just 1/2 length off the lead at the second call although it was 3rd at that point. I want to include horses that are on or close to the lead at the first call so that the "pace" of the race is representative.
#6 - last line. this horse doesn't have many good races, so it is hard to gauge its' running style. "Doc" wrote in the paceline manual that any horse that is on the lead at the first two calls is coming to form and you can expect a good race from it. I understand the race is at 7 furlongs and today's race is 5.5 furlongs, but it is the only race across the PARX track, so I would rather have that line than one from SUF.
#7 - last line. this is an early horse, probably the best early horse in the race. we will see how it matches up to other potential early horses in the race.

The #7 wins and pays $5.20.
