I've discussed this before but if you're playing TGs without pace and trip adjustments(beyond ground loss), you're playing with one hand tied behind your back. I find way more explainable jumps and bounces when I adjust the figs than if I just swallow them at face value.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't shocked yesterday. No way on earth is anyone going to predict 8 pt tops and track records. But adjusting his last to a 3 made him a powerful pattern and a serious contender with an inside trip when it didn't look particulary likely that anyone else was going to run faster than a 0.
