Guess I'm not being clear. I don't care about Sun King, or his figures today, or yesterday. I don't care about today's race result. I don't care what the price was on either Sun King or High Limit. My point of the posts I made today is that High Limit is a vastly over-rated animal by TG figures. He lost because he's a much slower horse than TG figures say he is. This is all about dubious figures.

High Limit was the horse that TG talked up all spring due solely to the figures they gave him at 2, and his LA Derby at 3. The 2005 Lousiana Derby is a garbage race: the first four home that day have yet to find a significant winners circle anywhere in 4 months since, and maybe not ANY winner's circle. If High Limit earns a "1" for that, then I say a "1" is worthless. Badge of Silver ran the same type of race the same day: speed on the Fair Grounds rail and he won too. Maybe that was the place to be that day.

High Limit has three "1"'s on his sheet, and he runs on the race track like he's never broken 4 in his life. Go back and look at Cigar's TG sheet: last one I saw was full of 1's and zeroes. According to TG, a 1 is a 1 is a 1. High Limit equal to Cigar? Go ahead - build that case for me.

The horse is over-rated and has lost four in a row, which makes all his "1"'s highly questionable at best.
