I have been a thorograph user since they were hand written and sloppy and if there is a more enthusiatic supporter of the product then me I would be shocked. But I have to say "uncle" on these new figures. I just don't get it and need help. I respect the time and effort that went into producing them but they seem to me like a bit of "number overload". I took today's [2/25] Aqueduct card as a typical race day. I could not find one instance where I felt the new figures helped me discern a live horse that was not otherwise indicated from the numbers themselves or the "runs based figures". Can anyone help? What am I overlooking?
In addition, if the assumption is that you are looking for the trainer to have a good figure in the top% or at worst the pair% column for the conditions under which the horse is entered today, then make a fast eye search, in general, of the following trainers; First look at the figures for LaBocetta, Lake and Levine then look at the figures for M.Sedlacek, Aquilino and Hertler. Which set would you think is the more successful group of trainers? So, I'm really confused. Can anyone please offer some guidance.
