Title: A couple more questions
Post by: harrahs8325 on January 28, 2013, 05:42:06 AM
Guys,
First of all I\'d like to thank everyone for responding to my questions, you\'ve given me some great advice and I do appreciate it.  I have a couple questions that I\'d really appreciate some feedback on.  First of all, when looking at the TG sheets, to the right of the Thoro-Pattern is a set of figures: Sts Top% Pr% etc., what are these figures????  Are they figures based on the pattern for all horses or do they refer to the trainer when a horse runs this pattern???  Please explain, thanks.
My 2nd question has to do with class.  When using the form, I paid a lot of attention to a horse moving up and down in class.  Is this important with the TG #.  I\'m assuming a 10 in a maiden claimer is the same as a 10 in maiden special.  Once again, thanks for any input.
Rob

There\'s a full explanation of the Thoro-Pattern in the Intro section of this site. The stats are no trainer specific. As you use the data more I strongly recommend using your own analysis of the data, not the percentages listed there-- there are a ton of variables not accounted for.

A 10 is a 10.
