First of all, anyone who hasn't seen the film version of the Stoppard play should rent it--Tim Roth and Gary Oldman are hilarious. I answered Guildenstern's last couple of posts, but he will eventually get deleted again, due to his nature and his limitations. Patent "expired" (not bad) because he was end-played--he couldn't ask Friedman about the 13th race on Preakness day, and he couldn't offer a reasonable explanation of why he wouldn't, so he disappeared. I'm guessing you've taken a look at the day, and see how the roof would fall in if they post their figures for that race.
Even more interesting than the figure question is the Raggie psychology (pathology?). Talk about creationist/fundamentalist--David is willing to be partisan WHEN IT'S AGAINST HIS OWN INTEREST TO DO SO. He can only gain and has nothing to lose by getting them to post the race and explain how they came up with the figures--only they do.
Aaron Sorkin ain't Shakespeare or Stoppard, but-- "you can't HANDLE the truth."
