While watching an episode of Big Cay Diary for the umpteenth time I glanced at the Rags Board for the same reason that I occasionally stop on Fox news. Just as a contrast I guess.

Then while mulling over why Rag's folks are so enamored by pattern reads, I went through TG's Bel analysis along with the charts for yesterday, Wednesday.

[i][b]The 2nd race was also a MSW and the TG Analysis nailed a nice exacta. Two first time starters. No pattern to read or misread. A healthy $30 winner on top. Very Profitable Read and more than worth the price of admission![/b][/i]

So I mused... if Ragozins stare only at the graph what do they do with first time starters? I have not looked at a "Sheet" since the 1990's but I'm assuming they do not have the statistics that TG provides. Pardon me if I'm wrong about my assumption. At least my mind was off the nagging question of striving for pattern read accolades. I'm not criticizing I'm expressing my lack of understanding.

As for Bob Baffert, or neg 7's I can no longer conceive of any reason to not bet him as of today. He defies reason.
