In the above referenced race, horse #4 Exclusive Strike is beginning its 10th year. The horse has been sliding down the claiming ladder for a couple of years with sort of a marauder's 2016 campaign.

While its logical that the gelding's value would be declining a TG analysis of the race would consider age and campaign if only slightly.

So I begin to wonder is Form Rating just math, or just Human intelligence making meaning of data or a hybrid.

The horse has an 11 lb advantage in the form rating which I suspect relates back to some previously better performances than will be needed today.
