mabred, a tremendous thank you for these kind words.
I don't put up selections, hardly ever, don't feel the need to compete with others or break down every entry in a field after going over it here at my desk. Redundancy for the sake of bragging rights is kind of a pass. I couldn't care less...not out to impress anyone. There's enough of that here, and on Twitter.
Besides, I'm not watching or wagering as in the past. Certainly not this time of year.
I think the pace figures themselves, standing alone, no other TFUS info, are gold. There are plenty of prices to be found--still--just don't always anticipate them being in the last out figure, or next to last, which often is hammered. Look back, look races back throughout the entire field. Note, rather than the one top late figure, or the one top early figure? The top two of each, and note the higher odds figure, along with its trainer. These are often where the money is made--the price horses--consider these, along with the 3rd off layoff, and 3rd time out. Too, as for trainers, look for the unexpected, like a Chad Brown, FTS that's underestimated.
Be well, and thanks again.
