Beyerguy,
Excuse me, but if you read my post, you are referring to TWO RACES I DID NOT MENTION AND DID NOT HANDICAP (nos. 12 & 13).
You wrote that
"It just happens "everything" on the lead wasn't true at least twice, and both times, a form of pace handicapping could have produced the winner."
What I said IS TRUE for the races that I DID handicap, nos. 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10, with the exception that Jerry pointed out, which was that the Holthus horse ran down the frontrunner in the 10th from off the pace, and even there the unlikely frontrunner held on for 2nd.
There is also the obvious point that it was a long day and the track may have changed by the time you were able to nail your winners with your "pace handicapping" insights, but that's neither here nor there.
You are comparing apples to oranges. I can only talk about the races I handicapped and watched, not races 12 & 13. I would have stayed for those later races but I had to go home to get yelled at by my wife.
Sincerely,
HP
