I'm lost. How does a 6.5 length swing indicate the Wood numbers are holding up? Scrappy got 3 pds in a one turn race. What it demonstrates to me is that Scrappy did not run his race in the Wood and a turd merchant horse that has been over-rated from the inception lucked into picking up the pieces because no one showed up.

Certainly, why not? Lets say Scrappy has been pairing 2's all along and Survivalist knocked down a 1 in the Wood and give Bellamy Road a Negative 8 and Crown him the Fastest Horse of All Time. He's close enough now. If we give Bellamy a negative 8 doesnt it look pretty good as far as graphing the rest of the field with the possible exception of Survivalist? HEY!!!...why are we always back factoring this race on this horse?
