There's the T/M play-turn move(red scan), SRE play(stretch run extension), Wide out play, Profile play, WIR play?, Pattern play, Double play? and my favorite, the Hidden Beyers, He also covers turf races in three chapters. And has some qualifying rules or something to separate contenders using final fractions. He covers his version of speed of the speed, and assigning value lines. Just think how impressed I'll be when I get to read the whole thing. And just for the record, I have at least three Gus Thaskalos downloads on my computer, so your expertise is something I pay attention to.(edit) it's INvisible Beyers.

I appreciate the fact that you've thought enough of my posts to download them on your computer...and I know that Lehane offers mere than the "red scan" to separate his contenders. I own copy of the book, that's why I was able to recount in detail the example race early in this thread, even BEFORE Ted Craven offered the book here. Even though Lehane offers other pattern plays in his book, he uses the "red scan" as the first step of the handicapping process...and that first step eliminates from the very start some obvious contenders who have no business being eliminated that early. Look at my post #13...and tell me what sane handicapper would eliminate Diablo's Caper and Battle Cat as non-contenders in that race...while considering Romancer as a prime contender? And yet, that's exactly what Lehane does, in pages 15 and 16 of his book.
