Main Perspectives

(TUE) November 25th, 2025

9:02 p.m. The meeting with my client went well, finished in success for today. Half of the house has been cleaned, though the other half is left to be untouched until Saturday, as I have a web meeting coming up tomorrow.

Barely had time to reflect on what I stumbled on with Mile Championship, but realized that I lacked one of the four main perspectives when calling races, the pace. It's nothing new, I've forgotten to take it into account so many times before since there are many other factors to be careful about.

In my view, it's fairly important to assume the property of each race in order to win it. The property of races I tink, are supported by four main factors, the lineup of the competitors, how the formation would be once the race starts, what the pace would be like, and not to mention the track condition.
