New member. Picking the projected paceline.??

The matchup
New Member first post.
Reading the MATCHUP( the book) and Pace makes the race And doing as recommended to handicap 20 races on the matchup and look at results. From past experience, I know that unless I actually am going to bet the races, I tend to "cheat" on the intellectual exercise. So I've been betting@ min wager level
So far 4 races
race 1 E. horse jammed at gate lost all chance
Race 2 lost rider at gate
Race 4 Dq'd
This kinda problems remind me why I quit betting on the horses.
But it's not all bad news.
Race 3 the lone S in a 7 horse race rallied strongly going away and 2 of the 3 pressers caught the 3 E types and the tri paid $190.

It's that type of thing that brings me back to betting on the horses.And so is this.
Race 7 Only 5 horses Lone E horse won so easily, lone presser 2nd, the two S fought it out for 3rd. tri paid ,unbelievable $70. The other horse was a NF maiden in nw2, so really only 4 horses.This was first race at Aqu today Jan 10 if you want to look it up.

I have one question regarding the matchup. [The Hat doesn't waste words with explanations.]
How does he select The projected pace for the races. I've no confidence that the one I select is "correct" and secondly wonder if it is critical as in the Matchup all the horses are "matched against the same pace line.

I used to have allinone from Cynpub and I used the par times as the projected pace, but if no one could run to par it didn't make sense.
So I am starting by selecting the best recent E paceline.
Am I on the right track.?
An informed response would be appreciated.
