hi please bear with me for this noob question.
In the Thorograph Analysis sheets, what does it mean when it say something like \"Win #4 at 3-1 or more, Box w/ #8\"? what does Box refer to?
And what does \"Doubles (2x1) with #3\" mean? What is the 2x1 referring to?
And some times it says \"box #3 with #9\", but othertimes just \"box #3\" (just 1 number), what does this mean?
Thanks in advance!

Generally in the analysis we\'ll make a brief comment on a specific horse(s) by name and then in the bet we\'ll use the program number for that horse. So that\'s what Win #4 means. We\'ve already identified the horse by name in the comment and use the program number in the bet. It\'s a shorthand method and saves us from having to reiterate the name again. If a horse isn\'t mentioned by name in the comment, we\'ll usually identify him with the program number in the bet, e.g. Box w/#3 Zanjero.
Box is an exotic bet in which the horses identified should be played in all finish positions. A two horse box is actually two bets--horse A to finish 1st and horse B to finish 2nd and vica-versa. A three horse box is six bets.
Doubles 2 x 1 means make a daily double bet using 2 horses from the first leg and one horse from the second leg.
Box #3 with #9 is a two horse box which is explained above--bet 39 and also 93 for the order of finish.
Box #3 just one horse--I would assume another horse has already been mentioned and the bet is to use that horse #whatever with #3, again two bets. Otherwise it\'s a mistake or you just transcribed it incorrectly.
We use program #s because customers ask for them and it saves them from having to look up names in the program, especially if they don\'t have it on hand.
Hey Alan
Did you slip? Zanjero\'s on your mind. Mine too.
