jimbo,
re your touch gold point:
i usually do this only on w/e's, and am forced to bet a lot of horses off paper, horses i have not seen run recently. if a horse broke ten lengths slow, and i did not see the race, i would want some info, more than the three or four words that the drf gives you. i want that factored into the #. just my opinion.........after watching the BC race a bunch of times on that tiny screen, to me it looks as though c'stopper's head probably was there with the rest of them when the gates opened. day then yanked the horse back after a second or so. my questions are: 1) did c'stopper get checked right at the start. if the answer is no, then i can find no reason for the adjustment made by rags, and 2) if the horse was checked, causing him to lose a few lengths at the start, why is that different from getting checked midway through the race, where no adjustment would be made. and, would this be considered a "poor start" in ragozin methodology. if so, why? some good points made here, especially from jimbo, who certainly has no dog in this fight. unfortunately, still waiting for my response from the other side.......... BTW, to me, it looked like day did yank the horse back quickly, then start riding him a bit. as a general point, what do you guys make of that? ....and guys, how about some more pre-race post from some of you? we all agree that these issues are best solved at the windows, right jerry? my recent posts have been on the other board, but i will try posting more here using TG when GP opens. the real discussions only take place when guys give pre-race opinions, because some guys will use figures to pick winners, and some guys will use figures to pick losers..... these issues then become very easy to solve.
