Horse, are you a TG user?? If so this wouldn't work, that's just silly( little bias maybe?). I don't think were ever going to fine whose better, also that little thing about throwing out the worse and avg. the best 2 of the 3. Ok this is a study done by the guys at HTR--They use a speed fig. from Jim Cramer. This is on the best last race speed fig. won at 27.9%, now they did one where they threw out the 2 best speed figs in the last three ( which left the worse one ) and whatever horse had the highest worse fig. won at 25.0% the ROI was about the same. The DRF speed ( no Variant ) won 24.6% best last race and the DRF + Var. won at 25.0%. 9,604 races were tested. Point is any of this BS is a waste of time. The top Beyer fig. wins at 25.4% based on a 16,450 race study. That's why pattern's should be study, like TG does, somewhat.
