I guess it was the latter.

I think I see an improving horse, but there are a bunch of unknowns.

Ice cold on the board I'm betting WPS and wheeling 1 top and bottom of all in exactas.
$147 $1 exacta, nice play Robert!!

Yeah, it looked like it was between the class/distance ranked horses for the win. Wish I'd played the race!

Congratulations to Timeform/Betfair for putting together TUS if it happened that way.

I have been a Phil Bull-ian for over 30 years and never a Beyer-ian. I say that not in a demeaning way, but I never thought speed figures were (and still don’t) the right approach to a quantitative handicapping methodology for deriving a qualitative assessment of a racehorse.

Also what is good about TUS to me is that it might be a way to better integrate the world horseracing markets; only time will tell.

I had at the quarter, at the half.

Hmmmm ---- maybe we should do this again, it was fun, and lots of angles from different folks. Entertaining, at least for me.

I would almost never have this. How often does a horse not in the top 3 surge to the front at the 1/2? Seems pretty odd.

Hey Pace cappers, everything fails (speed, class, connections, etc.). How would you guess that the pace figurers are good for the race and the race will run as expected?

I had the One in this race,but I used it because of less than ideal trip in his last race plus a good race at Gulfstream. I also liked the jockey change.Also,it didn't hurt that he had 2 or 4 numbers that could win the race.
Thanks for this thread,I really made the day enjoyable.
