Sounds like you and Richie's strategy is similar---being a specialist.

Picking your spots.

Do you 100% MatchUp horses, or use it enough to get final 2 or 3 contenders
and put in the computer, if you use the computer at all ?

DonP, I hope you do not mind me asking you a couple of questions. I am always trying to improve my pattern of play as to the Match Up methodology.

Do you bet the full card with the Match Up or spot play? When making selections do you ever use the DRF or other ratings to help you in your final selection or do you stick with the best in position at the speed calls (2nd call, 3rd call)—raw time.

Thanks,

Robert

just use racing form ...full card betting..multi cards all using matchup...pass alot of races if i can't see the race ...just use raw times not much adjusting...

I bet'cha that means :

1) Cannot project 1st call and/or 2nd call

2) PaceLess races

3) Too many 1st time starters

4) One too many horses with PP's with 1 to 2 call times not listed,
sometimes because of fog.

5) Foreign horses

6) One too many horses whose fitness, style preference are undeterminable

Am I close?
