Thank you for the response. It seems like you are confirming that rote application of 0-2-X is not applicable, and each horse needs to be examined individually. This provides me comfort that I am not missing out on anything here.

As to the circle pattern discussed by others, agreed.

One of the things that I think make the products we use (whichever they are) so good is that they give you the whole (or most) of a horse's career on a graph. Sometimes the very best prices come up when the 10 lines of text you get on the form look weak, but, when you can get a good perspective from the horse's career on a graph, you know that the lines on the page are deceiving. Just love when that happens :)
