when I handicap I will just not bother with horses i "know" have no chance
and that only show 0 pace lines .

When I am asked to do workups I DO select the last line for every horse. FIRST
I do this so people learn the basics first. Running the last line on every horse is a PMTR
guideline. So in demos and work ups I select the last line and let the phase 1 numbers tell me who is a non contender

This is Important .. IN phase 1 what 1 horse does has nothing to do with the ther contenders readouts

A horse who gets a 95 EPR gets a 95 no matter what , If another horse gets a 100 EPR
the 95 EPR still gets a 95. Phase 1 is not energy based. Its velocity and deceleration based.
You can add or take away bad lines and it does not change other horse ratings
You can not do this with energy based Sartin progrms
That is why with energy based programs you have to use good + or (+) pacelines .
