CTC-- generally I just let you drone on, but I took the red eye last night, didn't get much sleep, and am not in a good mood. Go to "Changing Track Speeds" in the archives section, and listen to it about 4 times. Once you understand that there is a ton of scientific evidence that tracks change "speed" significantly (and measurably, by scientific measurement of energy return) with only slight changes in moisture content throughout the day, think about how a serious figure maker can tell when it does, and how much it does. Answer-- only by seeing how fast the horses run over the track, compared to how fast they have run in the fast. "Pairing" is a gross oversimplification used by those that either have no idea what they are talking about, or are intentionally attempting to mislead.

The internet is a very democratic thing, and anyone with an opinion usually gets to voice it, whether they know what they are talking about or not. You don't have anywhere near the expertise, experience, or data to offer a serious opinion on this subject. I let some others who don't have a real basis voice their opinions because they are good customers and have a very serious and valid interest in the figures being right. You are not and do not-- knock it off.
