Race 5/26 DRF-Var 80-20 Bris 95 Cramer 93 Beyer 83 Time Form 107 Hambleton TPR 177
Race 4/26 DRF-Var 79-20 Bris 83 Cramer 87 Beyer 75 Time Form 111 Hambleton TPR 176
Bris has a 12 point spread, Cramer a 6 point spread, Beyer an 8 point spread, Time Form a minus 4 point spread and Hambleton a one point spread comparing the 5/26 race to the 4/26 race.
And this is not rare.
We have to carefully weigh whatever information we use when making a wagering decision.

Don't judge anybody off the turf races on May 26th. Nobody is good enough to get that day right without a little help....I was like CJ. Had the winner as the top figure down the hill, but wasn't smart enough to bet her.
