General TG usage questions

[John Gaspar]

I haven\'t used TG for a couple of years and had some questions for current users. When I used the numbers, I used them in conjunction with the DRF. I still used other factors in my handicapping but liked to rely on the differences between TG\'s numbers and the Beyer number listed in the Form to locate either hidden trips or false favorites if the TG numbers for more than one contender were similar but the Beyer numbers were vastly different.

Do hardcore TG users buy a racing form? If so, is it for secondary handicapping factors.

Do you use TG as the sole means of your play or as an important tool among a bunch of tools?

John, speaking for myself, I may briefly go thru the form first if I don\'t have the sheets yet. I may identify a few possibilities, however when I see the sheet on them the final decision is made then. Forget beyers it has never been a coonsideration to me. I\'m looking for certain races and lines that I know are profitable. I like when the beyers contradict the thoro #\'s.
