That would be my point exactly. I am not sure how omiting a low figure in an array of numbers (3) gets you the best horse or power number. i think if you keep all 3 in and find a power number then you might have something.
I think throwing out the low number will skew the data of some horses. What you want is as an accurate portrial of the horses ability and then you are taking this "power number " the lowest in the field and saying that horse should be the most likely winner based on the lowest figure in a given field. I just don't see how throwing out a bad figure hurts the analysis, but rather will improve it.
But either way, I would never Change to Ragozin no matter what the study shows. It is my belief right now the numbers are the best they have been in the last few years.
