The ROTW is different than the T-Graph analysis (obviously users know this, I am posting for those who haven't bought the analysis before). After reading the ROTW each week for the past year or so, and also purchasing the analysis, it is clear they have different goals. The analysis is direct and says "box 2,3,4 because the favorite is no faster than the rest" or "take #3 at 3 to 1 or better". The ROTW seems to be more about giving potential customers a look into the figures and how they work and providing a little bit of analysis. There are often non-definitive conclusiions but just comments. For example, a previous poster mentioned the ROTW "nailed" Ticker Tape at $26. That is not really true. I am grateful that T-Graph said he was a strong contender. I hit the NTRA pick four that day for the 2nd best score in my life with the horses and my ticket consisted of three strong opinions I had on my own and then using T-Graph's contenders for the last race, which I had absolutely no opinion on. T-Graph listed Ticker Tape as a strong contender and I am grateful, but I wouldn't say after reading that ROTW that it was clear that they nailed the winner. That overall conclusion of the race was that there were a few serious contenders of which Ticker Tape was one.

But if you look at this week's ROTW, there is a stronger opinion. It is pretty clear that JB expects Lion Heart to win and would use Pies Prospect behind him for value.

Last week's ROTW was probably the least conclusive of the one's I have read. Boxing a bunch of horses except the favorite was the conclusion, but I really haven't seen that kind of conclusion too often.
