I know you addresed your question to JB, but here are my 2 cents. First where I coming from: playing the races for the past 25+ years; used to make my own figs for a while (I don't pretend that they were anywhere near TG or Rags)but they got me into the BIG A semis one year in the days when the attendance was 20,00;spent a couple of years on weekend training hours with my trainer friend who was who was in the top 3 in NJ at the time; have used the sheets for the past 6-7 yrs., primarily Rags up until the Volponi BC and TG exclusively ever since; I have listened to all the Rags tapes and worked through them, as well as TG tapes and have been to many Rags seminars.

To answer your points as they are posted:

1. I check over the figs after every race REALIZING THAT THE FASTEST HORSE IS NOT ALWAYS THE MOST LIKELY WINNER. With TG, even though I most obviousely don't cash every race, I can at least "figure" the horse or horses that beat me. With Rags from the last 6 mths or so that I used them, that OFTEN was not the case, especially in grass races.
Hence I switched over to TG. You need to look at the ENTIRE TG sheet esp. trainer stats and the outstanding last 3 out-tops line which I think is great.

2. I don't compre the 2 sheets with each other, but I did mention in a previous post an example that occurred at SAR.

3. I buy my TG at the Med . The guy I get it from there noticed my switch from Rags to TG. and told he's heard from a number of players who were dissatisfied and switched to TG, including himself.

4.I have respect for both Len and Jerry and as I have posted before, I have been to many Rags seminars where Len is "right" 10% of the time if that much. Picking winners and expecting to make money is very hard, the game is too unpredictable, one must look for value.
I've had a nunber of big scores from TG ROTW lately, namely LIONTAMER, and WILDCAT HEIR - remember I am using TG to look for value.

I am not a heavy bettor by any means. I play within my level of comfort and enjoy the intellectual challenge, but also, like everyone, I enjoy cashing
