Derby Distance #s DRF BRIS This topic made me think of this.

Any opinions on the relevance of the whole dosage theory invented by Dr. Romans. There's a 12 page tutorial on his chef-de-race website which I couldn't get through without having a headache. He has some numbers divided into 5 categories. B, I , C, S, P. Then through some manipulation of these 5 categories he comes up with two other numbers called Dosage Index and Center of Distribution. Very confusing but supposedly a system of determining a horses propensity for being a sprinter type of horse as well as a distance type of runner. I always thought the higher the total of all the numbers would equate to a horse being able to run further as long as he had some numbers in the S and P categories. It seems looking at these numbers for this years derby contenders not many have numbers in these last 2 categories.. I don't know , does anyone find this info useful.All comments welcome and I won't take any of them personal. The tutorial is here: http://www.chef-de-race.com/tutorial/tutorial_title.htm
