Question: Do you suggest any shortcuts to doodling 1-2 cards?
Yes. Let’s say a pace picture looks like this:
E/P7
E/P5
E/p6
E/P3
--------P3
--------P3
--------------P/C
--------------P/C
There’s no extreme pace aberration or a pace box situation in this picture - If one of the early pace types has a very good PCZ (3.0 to 4.0) then I might be interested if the odds are very good, say, 4/1 or better. I really try to stay with horses that will be racing in a comfortable pace environment, but there are some good plays in these situations if an early pace type has a strong PCZ. As the early picture builds then the more talent those early pace horses have to have. In my experience the PCZ gives me that information. The pace picture, if used properly, is to assess odds.
