As I have said before, LF is a very good handicapper-- had I been handicapping using Ragozin I also would have thought RHT was better than even money to win, and Wimplestiltskin was the live longshot. Obviously, the single biggest difference (and certainly the most significant) is that they blew the Long Branch (they have it 8 points slower, or about 3-4 off on the respective scales). But it\'s not the only one-- they have the usual regional discrepencies involving the non-NY East coast tracks vs. the West coast. When I made the comment about Wimple\'s management in ROTW I didn\'t know what he looked like on Ragozin, but now I am extremely curious-- they had him as one of the fastest (recently) in the race, facing a LH in declining condition. I wonder if Wimple\'s connections are Ragozin \"clients\"...
