oaklawn has always been a sustained pace track favoring outside closers despite the short stretch for the most part. you may find a few races where ep horses win but the closers will always prevail. this applies only to fast tracks period,not wf ,gd, my, or sly.
my rule of thumb is this: look at some previous full chart race results , see where the winner was at the 1st call, not the 2nd call, then go back to your pacelines and look for a similar or comparable running line from whence the winner came and use that line in your program and then see where your winners are coming from. don't go into a race where you already predetermined where your winner is coming from.
i cut my teeth with sartin 30 years ago using Synergism II. that's how i learned to pick pacelines and that's why i know oaklawn is a sustained pace track. track has not changed in 30 years.later,omar.
