Hi Ted.

Thanks for your quick response.
I am doing some Hat stuff, moving pacelines around to get
a better flavor. I called it swapping lines. Seems to work
by eyeball pretty well. I was confounded for a while there
yesterday, and thought I would see if Your Site "Pace and Cap"
might bail me out. But early this morning, shortly after
midnight, I figured it out, and have spent this later morning
writing the formula's to make it happen. I am 1/2 way there,
and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The race that's been bugging me, is from TAM 12-30-2011,
the 2nd race, 9 horse field, Finished 5 - 9 - 8 - 3 Scratch the 2.

Normally the 9 should win. But not in this case. A fix is needed.
I tried adding a an adjustment, blinker's on the 5, but trashed that.
I hate to do any adjustments. The swapping lines will do the job.
I can see, by eye, that they work, and I get 5 9 8 3 without any
problem when I do the swaps.

My program is one I designed over some 20+ years. It has
not one thing taken from other progams. Nada. Self only.
But the Hat was sooo good, and I appreciate his work.

My win percent is high, and I get my fair share of exactas,
tri's, and supers. (These are done straight.) I guess you could
say I'm in profit with my program. That's all a man can wish for.

Thank you again Ted, I think I have it figured out now, but your
input is to be highly valued. I want to become more involved with
Pace and Cap now that I've reached 75. Getting older teaches us
all to respect other's ideas. I will keep coming back if that's ok.

Sincerely,
Frank Barry
