Speaking of Timeform pace projections, what do you think of Tamarando in the Del Mar Futurity, he has never really caught a fast pace and I think a bunch of sprinters stretching out today will give that to him, his 82 is already competitive and I think he may improve a bit at 7F, 8/1 ML.

No chance 3rd.
I know they said its really hot, wonder if they over watered the track, it was chalky but two races and not much passing of horses as of yet.

The blue/red pace lines is a really nice feature with Timeform, you quickly at a glance can measure the setup the horse was working with last race(s).
Many times you see a speed horse with a blue running line and then a loss at 3/5 next out which was predictable, now Jerry Brown would say the horse bounced, but we know thats not reality.

The blue-fractions and red-fractions are definitely a nice feature.
Any pace that is a +15 or higher, the fractions are shown in red. Any pace that is a -15 or lower, the fractions are displayed in blue. My personal preference would have been to use +20 or faster for red, and -12 or slower for blue ... but they're currently very close to that right now. |

What I am finding is there are many horses who run well with +20 efforts but do not back them up, more times than not at the cheap tracks. This an advanced pacefigures type item but I am finding also some correlation between turn time and next out efforts using the PF's.

Not sure why, but they only post columns on their website (goerie.com) Two of the main guys at the paper are regulars at the track. |

I'm a couple months early, but...
Do you guys know if you plan to release advanced pps for the Breeders' Cup like DRF does? Also, any chance they will have both you (Doug) and Justin do more extensive analysis of both days rather than plays of the day?
