Miff, knew you've been involved by your posts and pay attention to your insights.
The numbers are on about a four to five year faster trend. Do you think drugs in racing. Perhaps even new drugs help explain it?
During this same time period we've had the appearance of the "Supertainers" too. Seems all far too coincidental to me.
I'm not as big a believer in the "horses will tend to pair" theory. I know TGraph relies upon data for that. Just think big wins or unexplainable losses call for close scrutiny in figuring tough races. It does appear tgraph is factoring comparative placing in the race more prominently now and resolving anamolies with Pair Probability.
