Had a question about the ground loss. You'd think in a 20 horse field, there would be a lot of buried (!) numbers. But looking through the archives, it seems like the horse with the best figure almost always wins. The only recent counter-example I saw was Empire Maker.
Doesn't this suggest that, for the win at least, we should ignore potential ground loss for handicapping purposes - and just focus on the fastest horse?
