Early in his career, Mr Commons ran three times on dirt. These three dirt races were surrounded by grass races.

Then he stayed on grass for several years.

Finally, he returns to dirt.

Of course it is, as are the dirt races that are even older.

They didn't run Appealing Time. They ran Appealing Tale, who, by the way, broke his maiden, around two turns, by coming from behind.

Classhandicapper,

It sounds to me as if you should use Thoro-Graph (which is what I use).

When I read discussions about sheets and Beyers and bad rails, one of the things I wonder about is...

Hmm, so you are saying that the Beyer approach to groundloss is superior when the rail is bad, but the sheets approach is better when the rail is normal or good?

I'm thinking it might be possible...

You made those Ragozin-is-impossible-to-understand posts without bothering to visit his website? Wonderful. At long last, I have seen it all. Or perhaps I am being too optimistic.

I'm sorry. I neglected to address this part.

We do know what his scale is. This whole thing about Ragozin being so complex and impenetrable? Not to put too fine a point on it, it's nonsense.

Thaskalos,

When I say that the Sheets do not completely ignore pace, I am not saying that they adjust for pace as frequently as you or I might. They make figures in a manner that comports with...

The Matties figures are indeed outstanding, and they, too, include groundloss, but the idea that they are always accurate is hilarious. This business does not allow for anything like that kind of...

Three things:

1: Your part about Ragozin completely ignoring pace is false.

2: The idea of a "pure" speed figure being made by someone who literally does not know how far the horse ran seems...

The argument that you seem to be making here can be applied in different directions. For example: Beyer does not adjust for cover. Therefore, if cover affects clockings, Beyer's approach to variants...

I have a question for you: How did you manage to look into this subject without learning what Ragozin's weight adjustment is? It would take quite an effort not to find it.
