Bdh,

I think you are right and I think it was "SportStat" or "Sportsline."

Also, I vaguely remember the terms of the study and I'm pretty sure it was based on how the horse with the best number in its last race did. In other words, if there were six horses in the race and the one horse had the best fig on TG and he won, TG got credit. I just remember thinking it had very little to do with how most people really handicap. I wouldn't necessarily expect that the horse with the best figure going in last out would be a winner. I'd be hoping he'd be overbet! I didn't think the study really measured anything in terms of the quality or accuracy of the numbers... I'm sure JB will remember the specifics better than me.

I don't know if there really is a purely mechanical way to measure the quality of figures, since so much of it is based on patterns, back numbers, development, etc.
