Couple of questions pertaining to the Wood numbers issue: TG vs Rag

1) When "nailing down a variant", how do you decide which horses to peg it to, ie. you are assuming EM and SS paired up their tops? Why are they used as the "control" group?

2) You've said in the past that "SS was about 2 paths wider than Len's trackman had him". You have SS running 3w4w. Ragozin only offers a V symbol for his trip (4 or more wide on final turn). How do you know what Ragozin used for his trip since his designation is only that the horse was at least 4 wide?

I'm not trying to be inflammatory. I'm a customer. I've just never understood this argument.

Thanks in advance for a response.
