Steve,

Perhaps you're right that it is more rigourous to choose a paceline demostrating it's predominant running style. In my own handicapping, I make use of the incremental energy information shown by Primary Line Score (i.e. BL/BL or Perceptor) and Early/Late energy, in addition to what I'm learning about matching horses to identify contenders, so I wanted to use the best line for those 2 horses, as identified by Line Score.

In this match up, it probably would not have made much difference using a 2nd best line, demonstrating their typcial running style, but in this collection of screen shots I also wanted to show the Tandem screen and how the #6 was brought into contention by its Perceptor ranking.

I recall something like that as my thought process, but others' mileage will vary...

yours,

Ted
