The groundwork for dosage was laid many years prior to when it first went viral in print at Kentucky Derby time in the early 1980's. That despite some of today's Chef's having been designated as such well after that.
So clearly the whole theory was not retroactively fitted to the data.
Nice try though.

Askin, the way science works is you come up with a hypothesis and then test it against future results.
The Dosage people retroactively fit a theory to prior results and then claimed 50 years of succeess. Then when it turned out that it didn't work, they reclassified horses to retroactively make horses into qualifiers.
That's not science.
