Every time that I've asked you to handicap a live race using your "who-beat-whom" method...you've always politely refused.
I like "theory"...but I can't embrace it unless I actually see it being put into PRACTICE.

If I were to handicap a few races here (and I have from time to time. you may have missed them) it would prove nothing regardless of the direction of the results. If I were to handicap 500 races here it would prove little. Maybe if we got near 1000 races we might have some meaningful information to ponder, but I'm not going to handicap 1000 races publicly to prove something to others I already know to be true.
I'm more than willing to post data from a very basic automated system that compares classing to speed figures if you'd like to see that (no trips or pace included).
