ROTW - Did anyone understand Thoraograph's analysis?

To me it seemed like Thorograph didn\'t have a take on this race at all and yet they posted it as the race of the week. Their analysis was very confusing. Am I an idiot or do others feel the same way as I do? There were good comments about Dice Flavor, but the bottom line was way too confusing!

Tavasco

I was also a little confused on first reading. So I ignored it. Bet my favorite two West Coast turf riders, Nakatani & Gomez.

Then I saw your post, reread the analysis and discovered the first two fimishers were through outs! I guess the crowd read it because the prices were generous.

Both horses went off at about a 45% premium over the morning line. At least an interesting race was chosen.

King Kreesa (SAR) had a lot of people holding their breath for awhile.

It wasnt real confusing to me. Dice flavor\'s comment \"Hard to Dismiss\" at the end of his analysis doesnt sound like a throw out to me. He is clearly a different horse on lasix and being a half to 2 stakes winners on the grass makes the transition from synthetic to turf more than likely especially at almost 9 to 1. Unfortunately you never know the post time odds from the morning line. Im sure at the odds Dice wasnt a throw out in TG\'s Eyes......RC

I checked their analysis and Dice Flavor was not mentioned. They liked Freakin Rocket (at 3-1 or above) with Si Sage, Uno Dos Adios and Dry Summer. Freakin Rocket went off as the 5-2 favorite.

Again, the ROTW analysis was confusing.

You guy\'s remind me of one of my favorite  Tony Soprano lines, I saw a re run on this just the other day \" you could have a Virginia ham tucked under your arm walking down the street and complain that you don\'t have a loaf of bread\".

Gimme a FREAKIN Break:
A) It\'s free
B) The races are chosen to stimulate some brain cell activity
C) The pay for analysis is done most times by a different person.
D) As per example of many here the same race can result in several different  
   interpretations.
E) If you want to be told who to bet? Buy the F\'in Wizard and see how that works
   out!!!!

NEWS FLASH:
The Website is Thoro Graph, meant for those who buy the product, want to learn about the product and just maybe for those who care to expand their horizons just a tad !!!!

It doesn\'t take much to see why many experienced posters have become quiet over the past few months? Since triple crown season this has become idiots and whiners on parade.

Bet Twice

It was a wide open race that any horse could have won, which I believe the author mentioned or at least implied.  He tried to eliminate as many horses that he could to make the race bet-able and utilized horses that seemed to provide the most value.  As was stated in the intro, there weren\'t too many other options in terms of stakes races to analyze as the other big races had legitimate, short-priced favorites (e.g. Wise Dan).  I\'m not sure which part of the analysis was confusing - the author took a stab and it didn\'t play out.  That\'s horseracing.
