According to a post on the Ragozin board, they gave him an 11 for his second start. Brother.

JB,
....shhhhh, you won\'t believe UR\'s RAG sheet. If it\'s not an input mistake, that product isn\'t worth 35 cents much less 35 bucks!Translated TG/Beyer/Rags for Union Rags, he\'s about 7 lengths slower on RAGS.TG/Beyer very close.

Inconceivable that he is running like TG 8\'s and Beyers of only 80 which the Rags 11 translates to.

As I said before, I\'m looking forward to seeing their BC sheets. The horses from 10/1 Belmont alone should be pretty entertaining. There are also some dead rails that could impact how they did some days and/or how some horses look in the BC.

why are we even worried about their stuff?

I thought we settled on that debate a long time ago?

that\'s why we post/buy here, no?

Then for who? Merely acknowledging them as a competitor gives them legitimacy.

Covelj,

A Senior Exec at Goldman not understanding marketing :)

Let me paint a picture for you, my friend.

I use TG, but occasionally look at the other board.  If somebody there would credibly point to errors in TG, I would pay attention.  

I am guessing there are others on that board, that drop in here.  Since the following there tends to be \"cultish\", at least from the sampling I have met, I am not sure they care when mistakes are made (don\'t ask me how they don\'t care, but listen to guys like Vito and others talk, I would swear they are in Guyana and Len is Jim Jones)

Now, agreed TGJB\'s posts about their figures don\'t help us \"confirmed customers\", but I guess the moderator gets to market his product once in awhile.

Now back to constructing my pick-6 ticket that takes down the whole pot.......

Jimbo,

Thanks for reminding everyone where I work, next thing you know, we are going to have the Occupy Wall Street People occupying the TG board....lol
 
One flaw with your logic on the pick 6 ticket is that after you post that ticket here on the board and I play it along with you, we will have to split the pot...hah!

I can\'t wait for the figures to get put up tonight, like a kid on Christmas Eve right now.

Jimbo-- you\'re right about the ones that post on the Rag board, but not about the ones that just read it. I have heard from two guys this week (one responding to the contest email and another asking about when BC sheets will be available, I just happened to answer the phone) that switched recently. Another a couple of weeks ago said he switched because we \"kick their ass\".

Another thing is different between the two boards.

Over there noboby is willing to point out their mistakes.

We have Miff to point out every single one of the many you make........  :)
