Jim,
I do not have Bob and John's sheet. I THINK he has paired his last three or four races on TG.In particular, I felt that his last race was better than a half point improvement and without question he outperformed Greelys Galaxy who received a substantially superior figure in a very average performance. I have seen all of the races in question.No other source has Bob and John pairing his last four after adjustment, ergo the term "ugly" pair.
After reviewing the entire day of Bob and John and High Limit it seems questionable that the track changed speed/slowed by 11-12 lengths from the third race until the end of the card.Please check yourself Jim.Someone very sharp who is at SA every day advised the track slowed by app .60 from the forth race on(almost 3rd lengths)by their evaluation, done daily taking into account all of the pertinents that Jerry speaks of.
It will be very interesting to see the figs of the 1st race winner, that day, vs the last race winner who SHOULD grade out as the second coming of Pegasus since the track slowed by 2 full seconds+ by days end.I believe that the recently turned three year old filly snails that crawled around in 1.27 and change(4th race) may have skewed Jerrys thinking that day.
