In the late 80\'s and early 90\'s the King was a big Thorographs user. At that time I believe only 2 or 3 sets of T-graphs were sold in Maryland. I could only afford them on big days. I believe $25 for 3 or 4 pounds of paper. A buddy and myself would sit close to the King\'s box just for a chance to get some \"slop over\" T-graph info. The point of the story - I cannot tell you how many times the box and us would be stating, \"Biggest last T-graph number wins again.\" Many times at incredible odds (8-1 or greater.)
Do not take it for granted that a horse will bounce off a big effort. Of course, back in the 80\'s, we were most always getting high enough odds to justify betting biggest last number.
