You know we put up a race of the week every week where either Jerry or I discuss form cycles, patterns reads, the value or non-value of the Thoro-Pattern--when to use it, when not to use it, how to use the TGI, dam stats, and or trainer tendencies as shown in the profiles for the given horses shown. Of course, the contenders dictate what topics get discussed but over time all the subjects mentioned above have been touched on.
Also there are lots of times we discuss various patterns or TG data to inform because a particular horse(s) provides an opportunity to do so and while the relevant points may not be immediately beneficial, the particular horse may be too slow relatively to be a serious contender, the points and topics evoked may have relevance another day.
Someone earlier in the week mentioned that a lot of non-performance figure talk dominates this board and they're almost afraid to steer the conversation to pattern, performance data related topics. This is the perfect time since all the data are up there, gratis.
JW--I agree thoroughly. Aside from SP's non-effort earlier in the year, she really has 1
figure since 2004 which at the weights and post make her a non-winner. So 7 of her 9 efforts in the last 18 months gives her a good shot at winning here. Pretty strong and she's not the favorite.
