Hollywood Starlet

[Chuckles_the_Clown2]

I wasn\'t interested in this race for a couple reasons. Hollywood Park first and foremost among them. But, I did a quick review of Hollywood the last couple days to get a feel for the surface and the bottom line is the TFigs held up in this race, albeit reverse order. It paid nothing, but thats horseracing.  But as Giacomo demonstrated, these horses can move up fast this time of year.

Chuckles,

When 6-5 finishes first, 8-5 second, I don\'t think it is appropriate to say \"T-Graph figures held up in reverse order\".

All the figures held up, the heavy favorites finished 1-2.  All figs pointed to those two horses, beyers, T-Graph and Rags.

And since the top figure T-Graph horse, had a \"hidden\" best figure that Beyer fig users and traditional fig users wouldn\'t see, even Jerry would not point to the this race as an example of T-Graph figures holding up.  

Your pre-race analysis is a helluva lot better than your post-race analysis Chuckles.  Two weeks you congratulated JB on Host\'s win in the ROTW when he called the horse an underlay.  Then yesterday you congratulated TwoShoes on the Futurity when he said he had to bet against Declan\'s Moon (the winner) and now you say the T-Graph figures \"held up\" in the Starlet.

Come on.

I\'m guilty of oversight when I don\'t have an interest in the race. I did miss Two leaving out DeClans. The real handicapping in that race was going for Giacomo with three \'heavy heads\' in there. That was bold. \"Its not by how much, its how\"

I thought the figs were fairly clear regarding the others. Still, the starlet numbers held up from my quick scan of the TFigs. I look for figures to guide me generally, not make my decisions for me. The other factor undoubtedly playing its role, is post B.C. efforts.

I thought the BEST HIDDEN FIG this weekend was Medalist in the 6F Stakes Sprint at Calder vs an avaerage Bunch. Compare that Fig vs DRF (Beyers) was a major reason why the horse paid $11.60
