Jerry,
I won't suggest any number that could or should be added or subtracted to the figures, because frankly, I don't know.
But a couple of questions.
1. Would you agree that results are morely likely to be skewed on very sloppy tracks? I remember you had some maiden that had run 8 losing races, running a negative 5 early this year at Keenland on a sloppy track. It "seems" that sloppy tracks create disparate results, a lot of the time.
2. If point #1 is "true", don't you find it very coincidental that the top three finishers all paired their tops and the 4th place finisher ran the exact same race as he has the previous 3 races this year?
I know I am using the word "seem" again, but it seems unlikely to me that the top 4 finishers all ran their "exact" expected race, going 1 1/4 miles over a sloppy track. Your horse seemed neutral at best over slop. The second place finisher probably moves up over slop. The third place finisher was questionable at 1 1/4 and it did not appear that Perfect Drift ran his race on Saturday.
