To the guys on the Rag board:

On TG (as well as on Jake) Kid Cruz went back in the Preakness. On Jake, 19 out of 20 horses went back in the Derby. You tell me which is more likely.

I literally like my chances better of winning the Powerball jackpot, than betting on 19 of 20 horses (Growing 3 year olds nonetheless) going backwards in any single race.  Anyone with a brain can see those figures are useless.

I knew Rags was useless a number of years ago when a horse named Borrego got a faster Rag # for finishing something like 9th in the BC Classic at Belmont than he got for winning the JC Gold Cup by a pole.

Yeah, that was one of the great ones. The top two in the BC Classic came out of that same race, came in with horrible figures on Ragozin.
