William Shakespear:
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,

This is a good time to bring up the bounce theory. Esp on classy horses.
Personally I have always found, excluding extreme cases, that horses dont bounce as often as people project them to. This includes TG folks and regular horse players who dont use the sheets as well.
Sometimes they just dont run their race. Horse get's bodied out of the gate and pulls up? Bounce. Horse runs into a horrific pace scenario? Bounce. Horse gets stuck behind a wall and can't get through? Bounce. ... Basically all I am saying is that I think the phrase gets used way too loosely.
this is not a post against TG, more so an opinion on a different way to look at things.
Disclosure:
I loved Arcangelo and did not cash in the sequence. So eff me.
Also:
Rags has an awful presentation. They could have the best figs in the world, and I'd never use. Thankfully they do not.
