I'm a new poster here but have been using Thorograph now for a few years. I've found them quite useful, and intend to continue to use them. But herewith some comments, my own $.02.

I don't use Ragozin. And I find the constant sniping to be very unprofessional. You need to let your product speak for itself. And the comments about mistakes being made in the calculations of ground lost certainly applies to the TG numbers as well- take a good look at Heat Haze's race in the Flower Bowl. She is listed as running a 2-3/4, which is a new top (just barely). She is listed as being 3w3w. But looking at a tape of the race you can see that in the first turn she is between the one and two path. Taking this into account gives her at least a 3-3/4, if not more, and some indication of tailing off. So who is checking for accuracy on these numbers?

But thanks for the heads up on Cajun Beat; sure was reminiscent of Thunderello last year. But why no better endorsement of Pleasantly Perfect given that you were also betting him? This year I bought both the pre-entries as well as the seminar, since last year without the seminar I had completely overlooked Starine (but caught Orientate-Thunderello and Volponi). But this year's seminar seems only to have lead me astray. Not complaining (much), just admitting that I needed a reminder that it was just one person's opinion. While I appreciate your honesty in acknowledging that you had the winner, for us out here it leaves questions concerning the analysis presented in the seminar.

Your comments regarding possible shenanigans is new to me, and certainly troubling. Particularly troubling were the races of Peace Rules and Tates Creek. Sightseek I can excuse given that she had just run a pair of -3's, was clearly peaking in her last (given that at that time Azeri would be her next main foe), and a filly to boot.

Thanks for the opportunity to share some thoughts. I do like the product, and intend to continue to use them.
