Bet Twice,
I use the TG product, so don't want to be put in the position of attacking it, because I am not.
But the old saying that purist sheet players often used "a number is a number", is as wrong as "the world is flat".
An example of phony ground loss is a trip where a horse sits in the two path, off a cheap speed horse, who is can be used as a target. other than loose lead, there is no better trip in racing. Yet this generates a 2w/2w figure, which has ground loss in it. I discount that ground loss and the figure (at least the portion associated with the "ground loss").
General A-Rod continues to apparently get "good figures" on TG, although I have not seen his sheet. (taking Jim Covello's word on the sheet). His numbers must be inflated with ground loss. Is there any sane person that would take General A-Rod vs California Chrome, at any distance on dirt in a straight even odds match up? They have the same TG figures apparently.
