The Rabbit and Turtle still have an overlap of five stocks. The more patient approach of the Turtle is benefitting from the gyrations in the market. Stocks that the Rabbit will sell at a loss recover by the time the Turtle gets to a trade. Generally slower is better, and the greater the effect of High Frequency algorithms, the greater the benefit of slower trading.

Slow down enough, and the high frequency traders become background noise and have nearly no effect.

The Sector Models shows us still in a bear market configuration, though, so all bets are off. The models are not about which will make more, but which will lose less.
