I left this one alone because it was the equivalent of a guy saying how can you say the Earth is round, I'm looking out my window and I can see it's flat.
More importantly-- I made a point at the time of saying I had decided the track got slower on Wood day. So far a) the Contessa older horse came back and paired his number, b) Lockdown came back and paired her number, and c) CC came back today and probably paired the number, given he was on the wire with a horse with a zero top.
As far as Ragozin goes, I have to give Vito some props. He came up with CC on his own, which is amazing since he was the seventh fastest horse on their stuff. According to his post he didn't use CE even knowing he was 2 points faster than they had him, which was probably out of spite and/or pride. The rest of their customers had no shot, they couldn't use CE at a short price when they were looking at the sheet of a horse that hadn't gotten back to his 2yo top. Since Jake undoubtedly knew about the error and didn't fix it, they should give everyone their money back. But they won't.
Meanwhile, regarding all this, on the Rag board it's crickets.
