Now that I've had a night to think about it, I want to add a couple of points.

1- Friedman's ridiculous explanation of how ground loss should be calculated isn't just incorrect, it isn't even true that they do it that way. They show Composure as being wider on the turn than Storm Flag Flying (remember, these are all about only the second turn, because that's all Ragozin shows on his product). Well, Composure was inside the other filly on the turn, EXCEPT for the very part of the turn Friedman says they don't use. His whole post is stonewalling, and it's pure, unadulterated BS.

2- Again, unlike with the other disputes, there is no element of this that is a question of opinion or subjective. It's a factual question-- and every one of you can go watch a replay to see who got it right, and who is telling the truth now . And you can do it with all five examples I gave you.

3- Here's the big one, for everyone who has a working brain and self interest. Paul originally spotted the discrepencies (about 15 of them), and I spent a night looking at the tapes making sure that our trackman (Roger Vice) got it right. In every one of the 15 cases he did. So I picked out 5 clear cases to use as examples.
Even if you only count those 5, it's only on one turn, AND IT'S ON RACING'S BIGGEST DAY. This is an outfit that claims super accuracy. How accurate do you think they are day in and day out, even before you get to the question of how they do track speeds?
