It seems like the differences in race days, total races, etc. can be explained almost entirely by the fact that there were nine weekend days in June 2014 and eight in June 2015. Belmont did better...

Not being as fast early as others isn't the same as rating. Besides, Goldencents has never won a race from further back than second at any distance, and he has lost quite a few at a low price from...

I'm not a big fan of rating a horse that doesn't like to be rated in a sprint with a field of five. I'm even less of a fan of hoping jockeys get injured. But that's just me.

I didn't mean to suggest that I fault them for sticking with what works, especially since Wise Dan seems to have lost a step or two from his best.

Its fine as long as you are using it for the reasons you describe, which are entirely legitimate. For many people it is a (clumsy) shielding device.

It's not going to do what you think it's going to do. In fact, it's probably going to set off a big red flag for the IRS.
