Mitch I remember that race well. It was pouring at the Spa and the turf was yielding. The horse we had paid $50 and we had the ex for $500+. Yes we were with Tim Brothers who was making his 1st trip to the States. He did indeed end up paying for his entire trip. You are also correct that Jimmy always cautioned that the race didn't end at the 2nd call and tracks didn't pay the horse in front at that call. The Doc, points out, in his 1 on 1 seminar tapes, the advantage that compounded fractions have over the visual matchup. Jimmy,himself, always urged us to use the latest program since he had programmed the matchup into it. Like you I also learned to use the best of the last 3 comparable dist & etc. surface and have used it with good success since 1990. I know that there are other ways to win with the Methodology but as for me I prefer to go with the Docs' way.
Tim
