We seem to have this debate several times a year about the\" 0-2-X rule\" pertaining to spacing. It clearly states in the guide to thorn-pattern section on the site that the 3 races have to be within 42 days.
Race Day ran a neg 1.2 on December 21st making yesterday\'s race 55 days from his 0 effort. His February 7th effort of neg 0.1 is only a 1 1/4 point regression not a 2.
This was far from a classic 0-2-X pattern per the rules stated here and per many conversations with Julian who is credited with discovering the pattern.
None of this was any help to me as I loved Carve and was against TAP duplicating GP numbers on the road!
