HP,
TG is a great tool to use to find horses that others wouldn't touch. But your comments about pace not being important, or that it is an old idea that is not valuable is ridiculous. When Stevens went wire to wire in the 94? Distaff on One Dreamer with no pace pressure, are you telling me that he would have won if he had 1 or 2 other horses pressing the pace with him?? The horse paid, what, $90+?? I don't know what his pattern was, maybe TGJB can dig it up,but I doubt it was so strong that he was a stick out. Competent sheet readers have a big advantage on everyone else, but if you think that a sheet number is the end all of any handicapping analysis then you are mistaken. If one only relies on sheet info that is fine, but analyzing pace is a key part of handicapping.
