1 Turn Routes vs 2 Turn Routes
I was going through the Matchup Forum last night, and I found an example race that Richie and Jim were teaching.
I don't remember exactly which thread, however, or else I would link to it here. The race described was a 9f Route. The Hat disregarded a strong 8.5f Churchill Downs route paceline out because he said it was a 1 turn route (Which makes sense... going around 2 turns, a horse naturally will run slower). If I was handicapping that race, I would've probably used the very fast paced 8.5f Churchill paceline, because I wouldn't have known any better. My question is, is there a good chart that details the amount of turns each track/distance is. I found one last night... and here is the link. I was still confused after looking at the chart, however, as it shows the 8.5f race as a 2 turn route. Obviously, this kind of thing became instinctive to The Hat through experience. Unfortunately, I don't have that experience, but that can still save me from making the same mistake. Does anyone have any recommendations? |

8.5f at CD is indeed 2 turns, on both dirt and turf.
