I would have to concur with JB on this point.
I sit with a couple of devout Raggies each
year on BC day.
With Tiznow, I was at Belmont and bet the horse off the T-graphs.
With Volponi, I used the horse With MD in the Pick 4 which I am embarrassed to say I missed.
This year, I also missed the Pick 4 but PP was a use.
In all cases, my Raggie friends were astonished!!
They couldn't believe that I actually liked Volponi as a key.
And they were tossing their sheets in the air when PP won this year. Why is he going to run today? He needed to improve by 6 points to win...etc etc. We all know the lament.
In both cases, I showed them the T-graph sheet and JB's analysis of Volponi and they admitted off that pattern he could have been played. Ditto for PP though you still figured he needed to run a new lifetime top to win.
My personal feeling is that some players are just more comfortable with one set of figures over the other. My Rags friends (one in particular) is a pretty consistent winner and a sizeable bettor. So, this is not a 'shot' at Rag's players but just my observation.
As we are all mature horseplayers (hopefully) and, therefore, opinionated (it goes with the territory), please do not take these comments as an assault.
