Actually, I said Bluegrass, noted my typo and corrected it, even before seeing Richibees post.
But, the issue is, how does the Lexington Result validate the Wood?
I've been perusing TGraphs Wood and Bluegrass numbers for the past several years and they've held up nicely. Especially in 2003 with Peace Rules. However, Peace had established a foundation of 0's so going back to them was logical. I did see a figure for Brancusi that was never seen again. TGraph looks to have nailed Harlans Holiday as well and horses like Conagree and Monarchos.
The millineum wind/songandaprayer figures though give me pause and to my mind both Bellamy and Bandini are similarly positioned. I'm going to refer to them as "The Killer B's"
I'm very skeptical about the Killer B's. Both earned high figs without a foundation of high figs and without standout races on the card in my opinion, that is troublesome. I'll continue my research. In the end I may conclude TGraph has to be deferred to. I'm not sure where this is goin.
