I would highly recommend the Fourstardave Sports Bar for Travers Day for your TG group.  Great spot for Travers Day.  Had a 6-top the last 2 years - a little extra cash - but having a nice spot to spread out and handicap is worth it.

Thanks for the insight SoCalMan2.  I agree it looks like a very tough race.

Ask the Experts / Kentucky Downs - Sunday - Race 8
September 10, 2016, 10:26:46 PM
I have been using TG Sheets for a couple of years now - but am still very much a newbie when it comes to understanding the patterns that I should be looking for and how to effectively use this product to maximize its benefits.

I am taking a stab at Kentucky Downs tomorrow - a track that I rarely play.  For this post I am focusing on race 8 at Kentucky Downs.

I am hoping to get some guidance from some of the veterans on this site.

So here goes - please share insights if you want.  If this is not the proper place for this type of post - please let me know.

School board Prez - looks to slow - but the Thoropattern for the trainer looks promising - how should I be applying the thcropattern star for the trainer to my handicapping - how much should I value this?

Harlan County - Lasix on --> what value do folks put on this?  and how much growth can we expect from a 3 year old when they are unarmed as a 2 year old?

Inconclusive - the \"6\" is very competitive in this field - how should this pattern be interpreted - was the \"10\" to be expected?  Should we expect a forward move here?  High weight - morning line 20-1.

Galilea looks to slow - but with only 5 races - and a healthy pattern - should we expect improvement here and if yes - how much?

Taralena - looks like a good pattern w good rest between races - Clement with positive thcropattern numbers - I would expect this horse to run a new top.  But we started with a \"14\" now at \"8\" - is more growth unrealistic?

Try Your Luck - appears to have most talent in this field - did the \"5\" hurt her or does she appear to be circling back?  She bore out last race - is she likely to go the wrong way?  Likely favorite.

Leafy Shade - good rest going in - appears to be too slow.

Shelbysmile - lightly raced, nice pattern - if she improves again - how much growth can we expect?  A pair is too slow - but improvement could make her a contender.

Mine as Well - 2nd turf start jumped 7 points - good rest going in - not familiar with trainer but has good thoropattern numbers - should we expect this horse to bounce or is this a live 20-1 shot?

Blame it on Me - another Clement horse with a positive pattern. Joe Bravo on board.

Outsider Art - Jonathon Sheppard sends this horse out for the 7th time since April - top is a \"7\" 2 races back.  Is this a healthy pattern or is a non-effort in the cards here?

Celestial Insight - appears to be too slow.

Mines and Magic - dangerous if draws in - ran a \"7\" 1st time on turf.  Not familiar with trainer.

Quiet Business - another one that appears too slow.

The other big questions to consider here is the distance - 1 5/16 and does the jockey have experience & success at KD.

Sorry for all of the questions and for taking up so much time with this post - if you want to weigh in it would be very much appreciated.  Still trying to learn!
