So you think I sit there and say, hmmm, there are 8 horses in the race, I'm going to have to give 4 either pairs or new tops?
I assume nothing about what percentage will run well when I do a day (and contrary to what some people have said I do, most days hold together pretty well, you don't break out races all over the place-- both La Derby day and BG day, which I posted sheets for, are examples). You make the figures by using lots of horses of ALL ages. And even if you do a race as a stand alone (only route, weather change, track changing speed), you are restricted by the relationships within the race, defined by beaten lengths, ground, and weight. You can't just arbitrarily give horses what you want to give them, and have it come out right.
