Title: Figure Check on today's races
Post by: SoCalMan2 on December 28, 2007, 07:48:49 AM
Dear Thorograph,

Thank you very much for the generosity of the gift of free sheets for a week!  it really is something special.  

Without sounding like an ingrate, I would like to ask about a particular figure.

There is a two year old filly running today at TP named Stormy Rumor.  On Oct 6, 2007, she ran in an Arkansas bred stakes at LaD.  On the form the Beyer figure was quite low -- a 35, yet the Thorograph figure for her was considerably speedier (a 9+) than one would have expected for a Beyer of 35.  Just wanted to check and confirm that the figure was right (I trust you guys a world more than Beyer, but have seen you on occaison acknowledge a mistake and correct it).

I usually never look at Beyer figures but was discussing the race with friends who do not use sheets and they thought I was crazy on the horse and then we discovered the unusually large discrepancy.

Thanks!

Thanks for checking on us. Apparently there was an input error for that race. The corrected number is a 13 3/4.
