Patently Idiotic

Thank you for posting the Wood, which I find very helpful in this discussion.  I have not had time to look at it closely yet, but can you tell me how big the point different was between you and Ragozin that day?  In other words, how much would I have to deduct from each point in the Wood from your sheets if you had used Ragoznin\'s variant?

As I recall, it was either 2 or 3 points. One of the problems with this (as I said then) is that later numbers are made by using these numbers as well. It would obviously help if you could get the same horses on Ragozin.

Well, for analyzing the question of whether your sheet would collapse if we deducted 2-3 points from the Wood, I don\'t see how it matters what the Ragozin sheets show.

Whatever works best for ya is the way to go. TG\'s west coast figs actually were instrumental in my switch to their product fwiw.

Generally, I find So Cal difficult to play. So many runners coming off long layoffs or very gappy spacing in their records. In recent years the quality of racing has plummeted not to mention field size. With the more consistent weather, perhaps pace \'cappers do better ala Brohamer et al.

In last years BC Classic, west coaster Tiznow looked tons better on TG and on the Rags virtually unplayable. One race does not a product make LOL.

Believe me ,I really dislike So.Cal. tracks ,I have very little success with TG there ,however I did have some success with Raggie\'s there.I do agree with the Tiznow #\'s  and thought he really looked good in the B.C.C.at Bel.I was in Vegas the year prior using Raggies and could not make Tiznow that easily .thanks for your reply.
