"since there can be no issues about track moisture or the track changing shouldn't the thoro & rags numbers be relativly the same?"


High Roller,

Don't hold your breath.I wasted a few months trying to pinpoint why the normal 3-4 scale difference between Rags and TG had disappeared in the last year or so.They may use the same basic model/formula but the differences are now many and major, fig wise.There are many many more disagreements nowdays than ever before. Differnces of 5-10 lenghts, on occasion.TG has pointed out some RAG figs that defy common sense after analysis.

I have formed my own conclusions as to why the scales have widened.I believe it goes NOT to the methodology they both use but rather to personal opinions and theories about racing that have crept into their figs.

Like most players I want the best data possible. I have respect for any informed opinion but don't want to pay for it.
