My point is that you and Alydar keep saying if you are wrong about the numbers adjusted for anomolies, you will not get tight patterns. Thus, as you accuse Ragozin of failing to adjust for anomolies, the same would be true. My point is that there are several tracks and types of races where Ragozin's patterns look very "tight." Further, though I can only say this through my own experience, the patterns on Ragozin have generally gotten less "tight" over the last 10 years. This to me is easily explained by the changes in horse racing. But if Ragozin's numbers being all over the place is due to their inability to get the variant correct, and not due to the horses, then why is this phenomenon seem recent and why does it only affect certain tracks?
