Miff , reading all this posted stuff and it's difficult at time's
guessing where some people are coming from - thanks , I understand clearly your point ... Though I would admit to blindly defending TG numbers - this years Derby is another validation in my opinion that the numbers are accurate and horses earning those big #'s got the correct ratings for those efforts - Aflet Alex should have bounced ( in the KD ) and did off the negative figure .
I certainly don't know how to view most of these big negative number's that have been assigned this past while however I'm working w/ them and acceping those negative number efforts for what they are .
Any guess weather Aflet Alex runs a new top or bounces in the Belmont - conventional wisdom would have AA a good race - bad race type , but I think in this case the answer is not quite as simple as that ...
