I did not peruse it, but I noticed the ROTW last week was a conditional allowance from a card at Hawthorne Race Course. Thats spreading it around some.
Assuming the ROTW analysis has been a bit rocky recently, though I have no idea upon that, its very difficult to say that recent record somehow frames an issue about the usefulness of the product. I know I've lost 15 straight bets before and I don't know that T-Graph is picking races they have layover T-Figs on. My belief is that they try and pick interesting and competitive races to demonstrate the product. Regarding layover figs the last two that I'm really aware of were Ghostzappers Classic and Smarty Jones Derby. 5-2 and 4-1 winners respectively.
I'd like to mention one other little point at TGJB's expense. The T-Graph Figs are many times validated not in cashing but in projections. A notable projection they get big credit for is Brass Hat. They attempted to buy that horse for about 50,000 dollars is my recollection and their vet nixed the deal. Brass hat since has won a stakes at Turfway, the Indiana Derby and the Ohio Derby. I believe his total earnings are nearing 700,000 although he is on the shelf right now due to an infirmity. They knew he was infirm but they KNEW he was fast too.
