Paceline Selection - Page 4 - Pace and Cap

Hi Bob

I am using Pizzolla's LASST method described in his book Handicapping
Magic. Basically, taking the most recent race unless it's a surface,
distance, bad trip issue. I don't go beyond 90 days picking paceline.

Ray,

Calling out again to you pal I hope everything is ok.

i will go back as far as needed to get a line that will best represent how the horse will run in todays race. I talked with AwesomeAgain about this and going back even a year is ok.

I stay within the last three pacelines and start viewing the animals with the best DRF speed ratings. Then I decide how I expect the race to be won. Early or Other than Early.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the responses.

I still can't see how going back a year will be of any benefit showing
the condition for today's race.

Going back that far is not my cup of tea. But if it’s profitable to you, whom am I to say don’t do it.

That is a true statement

Just to let everyone know I heard from Ray, these days needs to
be resting more so that's why has not been posting lately.
Not sure of the reason.

Get better Ray and hoping your wife is healthy.

He told me to keep posting but the way my horses have been doing doubt anyone wants to see that

Follow up to my using Thoromation. Still going strong. I’m wagering less races which is good. Since retiring, I’m more particular of races that I have a wager. More win wagers than exotics. Good for the bankroll. Rarely go back more than two pacelines. I can always pass if not clear.
