"It's no secret that I think our numbers are the best ones..... We wouldn't consider publishing those kind of mechanical win% stats for two reasons: first they are available from many other sources including the DRF PPs, and second they have limited use (and are often misleading) in helping to predict the future.

It is not admirable to encourage others to use factors in making handicapping decisions that are not reliable indicators of anything at all."

This is from the outfit who assigned Chilukki a flawed number in a 4 1/2 furlong baby race that was nearly equal to what Charismatic ran four days later when he won the Ky Derby, and who swears Composure was outside Storm Flag Flying on the final turn of the BC Juvenile Filly race.

I think his last statement is the best endorsement Thorograph has ever had.
