Tony, Poly is only a trend and is already on its way out. Thats inside information.
Don't get me wrong. I think Poly is a wonderful tool for Cheney betting. FYI Cheney betting is where you shotgun a few beers and then shotgun all the long odds horses in a race. The chances of such a horse winning are increased upon poly. The Bluegrass and a few others on the card are evidence of that. But I certainly already knew that.
TGraphs purpose and my style is to find a truly advantaged horse that is predominate over his contemporaries. I don't want track quirks to take away from that insight and I'm certain TGraph doesnt either.
I did read that you liked Dominican, so congrats. That four horse on the line finish had to be thrill with Dominican using ever inch of the bias and erratic footing by Street Sense to put a nose on him. It certainly was indicative of the "Shotgun Principle". Winning is winning, but aiming with a rifle is going to be much more enjoyable in the long term. Think hes a Derby horse? :)
Nevertheless congrats...Good luck on the Lexington. I'm not going to bet it but will be very eager to see if you raise the Beretta.
P.S. Maybe you deduced that a good closer with a shot is the way to wager Poly. If so, you're not the only one. That said, it should be pretty clear to you that the fact that Dominican got up tends to indicate the pace of the race was legit. Then again, maybe your 12 guage had him winning by daylight on a "fair" pace.
