Thank you, Bet Twice.
Your explanations are on point and clearly understandable.
I regret not asking my questions in the forum first, instead of wasting so much time researching on my own and coming up empty.
Thoro-Graph should incorporate your explanations into their \"Symbol Sheet: How to Use\", as to correct misleading and/or missing information.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the welcome, John.
As I have checked the info you referenced over and over and trying to google for further info, I still could not find any answers to the questions I asked, I was hoping to get specific answers from the experienced posters in the forum.
If you can help me by answering the question(s), I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
I think I follow you.
Firenze Fire\'s sheet listed multiple neg#\'s (two 4.1-- neg#, several 2-- neg#s, several 0-- neg#\'s).
But just to be clear: negative 4 is better than negative 2, which is better than negative 0.   Is this correct?
I am still confused about the two dashes AFTER the number.  What do these two dashes mean?

Hi.   Am new to Thoro-Graph and still learning.
A few newbie questions:
1) Under the How to Use section for the Graph, it states Turf races are preceded by a dash (-), but I always see a double dash (--) for these races.  Is it the same thing?
2) I also sometimes see a double dash (--) AFTER the the TG number.  It does not appear to reference Turf races.  What is the meaning AFTER the TG number?
3) What does \"neg #\" mean after the TG number?  I noticed this after several random TG numbers, not just a \"0\".  I\'m confused about this notation (neg #).

Thanks for your help.
