Be Patient...

Changes in race conditions, purse structures, track class tiers and local horse populations make for an interesting mix early on. It sometimes takes a round or two before Slew gets a "feel" for what's going on. Pay special attention to the way the race conditions are written, and whether Slew's "fast" horses that were yesterday's winners, are class appropriate or simply today's early pace warriors.

Fast horses moving up in class are often overmatched and go from trendsetter to pacesetter! Many times their appearance on Slew's listing is an indication that while fast at the previous level, are probable pace only runners in the current race.

And as always...good luck and good 'capping!
