JB, I don't cherry pick results and I dont' brag about my scores, many of which were aided by my 15 years plus using your sheets. We debated 15 years ago in your office that, IMO, wider isn't faster on many occasions and than slower numbered speed horses have dusted phony wide horses with faster numbers for years.They will do so on just about any track playing speed/up close on the day. Of course, wide runners win their share too when conditions suit them.I understand your opinion as it relates to your formula, but wider simply isn't faster on many occasions. I could post hundred's of slower numbered horses beating faster wides'ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL.'There are countless races in your data base where a horse who ran his eyeballs out receives an inferior number to a perfect trip wide runner who did no "Dirty Work" at all.To represent the lower the number the better the race in those instances is blatantly incorrect, IMO.The best number is not the fastest horse in many, many instances.
