Michael-- the ladder thing is great. And no question, you hone in like a lazer.

So I asked 6 questions-- 3 each for both TG and Ragozin. You answered the first one for each, and got them both half right-- I don't look at patterns, and Ragozin's position is a lot weirder than that-- in his book he limits the things that can change track speed during the day to rain, freezes and thaws, eliminating man made things like track maintenance. But you knew that. And you knew that Friedman, on his site, said in regard to Wood day (when FP won) that the track being sealed and unsealed during the card made no difference-- it was right to tie the races together.

The second and third questions for each are a lot more interesting and informative, and if you could focus well enough to really think them through you might see why. And you know what? You probably did better on the questions than most guys who buy Ragozin would.

Meanwhile, I wonder if you have noticed that no one has asked on the Rag site about the BC ground or the Derby lengths. Including you. Now, why is that?

By the way, I rested my case about focus and reading through the points because you proved it for me. Which everyone who reads this board except for you got.

Look, we appreciate your business. But I was pretty precise about my choice of words, as you will see if you go back and look, and I don't want you characterizing me or anyone else or calling people names unless they really have it coming. In fact, I don't think most Ragozin guys are stupid. But I think they are very lax in their thinking about some very important issues, and let Friedman get away with murder. Because, after you get past all this nonsense you have posted, which has served (unintentionally) as a diversion, the issues with the BC and Derby remain, and remain unanswered.
