If I understood correctly you made a point about Ragozin numbers not being equivalent from one circuit to the next. I noticed that when comparing a number for a horse that raced at Belmont to a number for a horse that raced elsewhere the numbers and my result just didn't seem to fit. I have rationalized that this is because of the size of the Belmont oval and that 1 turn "routes" are just different from 2 turn routes. I asked this question of Len Friedman at a seminar and his answer was that a number is a number.

I would be very curious to know your opinion on this subject. And if possible a further explanation of how racing circuits effect the number making process and, how your approach to racing circuits makes your product a better product than Ragozin.

Thank You
