The question is: What percentage of horses are running negative numbers? Zero has been a solid reference point and measuring stick. I suppose one can adjust to any, buuuuut is it truly necessary? Perhaps a case can be made to wait until they start the heavy testing in Graded Stakes come 2004. We might see a return to more "normal" numbers and horses actually reacting to big efforts (I'm not holding my breath, LOL)
Another thing to consider: the 5pt adjustment will make your figures appear slower than Ragozin's after being a couple of points faster all these years. What turn does the pissing match take with the conversion? Shoot, I can hardly wait.........
May they all come home safely!
