Well, he knocked that one out of the ballpark. It was nice to see him return the support of many of us on this board. I think that a little too much emphasis is being placed on his apparent 2-point drop, given that he won both of those races easily. I think you have to consider a two point drop differently if a horse is winning easily versus one that is obviously all out to hit the board.

Also, as I recall the 0-2-X pattern is an indication of an imminent return to the horse's top. But this occurs AFTER the X race. I don't recall anyone suggesting that a two point drop is an indication of an imminent X race. As I recall also, someone here last week stated that an 0-2 was as likely to result in a return to the top as to X in his next race.

I don't envy TGJB having to assign numbers to that race, though, given the track conditions. I'd love to see another two point drop; I think some of us were stretching trying to make a legitimate case to bet against.
