This is another good one to really focus and evaluate lines that matter... that can tell us something what the horse will do TODAY.

Stuff for the Newsletter : What to focus on at certain distances : It may look like this from what I understand so far :


5.5 f - look at 5.5 lines , possibly exclusively, to see how the horse handles this distance.

6.5 f / 7 f - I believe that I heard Mr. Bradshaw say they run 1 fifth second faster at the first 2 calls because they get a boost coming out of a chute, but I'm not sure.

1 mile - possibly all routes, but I think you supposed to watch for fast sprinters , cause the start is short, they hit the turn immediately, they run like blazes on the backside, hit the turn, and its a very , very short stretch .

1 1/4 and Marathons - what horse has the lead at the mile.

Stuff like this helps when you know what you are looking for as soon as you open the form. The MatchUp Newsletter is going to be killer. VoodooFan
