I got the Advance on Wednesday and I've just been throwing some stuff around. Its never too early to start I dont think, because the longer I look at something the more likely I'll pick up on things I've missed the first couple of times. This just gives me more time to really go over each horse, but its not like I'm writing anything down before Friday night, but I've given myself a solid foundation.

I got the Advance on Wed. also. I like to start with some of it early. Look over pedigrees a little (not my strongest suit), try to get a handle on who will set pace, stalk, close, etc. Then I usually go ahead and get a group of six to eight horses in each race that I have interest in then wait for the final entries on the next Wednesday. I'll be pretty much set up with what I'm going to do by the time I leave Thursday. Then I'll spend Thursday and Friday evening figuring out my pick 3 and pick 4 plays--these are a first for me on BC day. I usually don't play them much, so I'm going to be treading new ground this year. Just another way for me to increase my donations to the pools for all you winners

I'm like a couple of you here that have been going through it bit by bit since Wednesday. Really just looking for eliminations, improving horses, and trying to get a feel for which ones really belong in this company. I think a couple of races will be impacted by the post draw, so nothing set in ink yet, but it does help to get a feel for the pace setups and cut the field down. No way I could download pp's on Friday or Saturday and do a thorough job. At the end of the day, who knows if it will make a difference because this card is really tough, but at least I'll go to the windows confident in my selections.

got some ideas but post position draw is critical in a couple of the races, not a real factor in others due to the placing of the starting gate and the long, long stretch run

i'll probably have, come friday night, all told about 10 hours in the pp's and watching replays of certain horses in certain races

The less I think, the better I do. My best collections have come using the Slew factor; it is a nobrainer for me.
