The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

[Silver Charm]

Very interesting race.

Out of curiosity there was a symbol next to Senior Swingers figure.

Time?

If the time of the race is in question how does TG feel confident that they have assigned an accurate and reliable figure???

[TGJB]

\"Time ?\" means that our time conflicted significantly with the track time, and we used ours-- the \"?\" means we are questioning official time. For us to do that we not only have to come up different, but ours has to look better in terms of the horses.

Which ultimately, in a roundabout way, leads back to the Derby beaten lengths, and what I was told Ragozin is doing-- but I still don\'t believe it.

JB,curious. Do your track people hand time the race from the gate or the run up pole.In any event I assume its\' consistent.AS you know all tracks do not have a consistent distance from the gate to the timing beam.

[TGJB]

Uhhh... really??

Yes, we clock from the gate. We still use the run-up chart for different distances given to both me and LR by Connie Merjos, who used to do The Beard tip sheet in NY.
