Post by: justwin on August 27, 2015, 09:42:03 PM
In the first at Saratoga on Friday no entiendo has a square without a tg # for his last race. What does the square represent?
Thanks

There wasn\'t enough data to make a figure for the race (yet).

In Saturday\'s 2nd race, Condominium has a fig from his previous start, 7/25 in the 5th race while Hundred Years has a box from his start in the 1st the same day, at the same distance.  Haven\'t checked the charts, but can I assume this reflects the number of FTS in the latter race?

You can make a general guess, but if we had confidence that was true we would have made figures for the race.

Mostly I\'m curious about the threshold for when a variant is possible/not possible.  Being lazy, I still haven\'t checked the charts but I wondered if the race was a pass because of the number of data points available from other races was insufficient, because the variant changed between races or whether the lack of past performances due to FTS made the race a pass.

Off the clock, Hundred Years ran in the TG 12 range vs Condominium
