Title: Quick, maybe dumb question....
Post by: bluechip21 on August 30, 2017, 10:57:50 PM

I\'m looking at DANCETRACK in the the 4th race on Sat at Saratoga. The pattern says 4% top but his last four races (most recent being last) 12-8-5-8.

My question is, does the 4% represent a top on his best number or a 4% on his last number?

Thanks guys, I\'m only 4 years into this game and only recently got around to these sheets. Any insight, as willing to provide, is appreciated.

Edit: typo

It means new top, at least more than one point better than the 5. Pair is within a point either way of the 5.

None of the questions here are dumb.  They are good questions.  My guess is that they ran a study and the study showed that, from that certain study sample of patterns, the pattern produced a new top 4% of the time.  However, I could easily be wrong and will let the proprietor correct me.

I assume he\'s talking about the Thoro-Pattern, upper left every sheet. There is an instruction page for that, anyone who uses it should read that.

I am assuming the numbers to the right of the Thoropattern is regarding the trainer.
