What is a reliable way to disregard bad pacelines?
It’s no secret that the last paceline usually doesn’t provide much value on the odds board. But we can’t go two or three races back without a good reason. One of the best reasons to go back is by checking the pace of the race velocity rating and the horse’s running style. You will know quickly if the race shape favored the horse’s running style or not. If not, then you have a good reason to check the next paceline back.
