Msola-- I didn't say they were far more likely to all pair up than move forward or backward together. I said they were more likely to all pair than ALL move forward or backward EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT ON THE SAME DAY.

All the thinking in making (as well as betting with) figures is based on the concept that previous figures can be used as a guide in what horses will do subsequently. If you can't look at horses previous levels of performance-- ranges, and especially maximum level-- you can't make figures.
