Extreme Pace by Examples

If anyone is a user of Extreme Pace by Randy Giles place your doodles in this thread for discussion. I'll start off with today's card at Calder. I'm new at this so, if you disagree with any of my doodles, please comment. Thanks.

The doodles get squeezed by posting them. Is there a way around this?

Maybe use (periods) Like
================================
Race 2 alw 5f 3up (20x3) P/c3 #4
================================
1..e7
2.........e/p3
3............p3
4..............p/c3
5.e8
6............e/p3
7....e5

Or something of the sort?
I love this book, his online PP service isn't too bad either, both in price and usability.

Rain again. There was a lot of scratches meaning that I had to re-doodle. My impression is still that Extreme Pace calls the pace well but doesn't predict the winner. The early horses will get the lead but will they hold on to it? That's another question. In my mind, Giles pace is not a primary factor like he argues in his book. It is a secondary factor like Ainslee suggests. Two cards in the rain doesn't make enough data to certify any conclusion, but in these two test I haven't seen anything to change my opinion.

Isn't that what pace handicapping is?

I just finished the book, but I need to study it some more. If you can do the pace matchups correctly you get a good idea of what running style will be favored by the race shape. That is good enough for me, I can take it from there.

I've never looked at the Giles stuff, but generally I'd say that fast and wet tracks should not be compared. Wet tracks are often very biased, either direction -- to the front or the closers.

I agree. All I could see was that Extreme Pace did a good job at calling the pace. I'll need many more races from fast tracks to determine anything.

Here's the debate. If Pace is a primary factor then the race is about Pace. If Pace is a secondary factor then the race is most likely about Speed with Pace serving as maybe the tie breaker. Plus or minus 2 Speed points would be considered the same Speed, so Pace would be effective as a tie breaker within this narrow range as a secondary factor.

I had to re-read the first few chapters several times to get what Giles was talking about. Once I got it, it was clear what he was saying. The author doesn't make it easy to get his point.

Once you start doodling, please share them with us in this thread. Thanks.
