Title: High Star
Post by: OPM on March 15, 2002, 01:05:40 AM

Is that a correct # for his last race?  I remember the fractions being slow but this horse bounce 5 pts.

TG--The number is right to the degree one can come up under the circumstances--rain, changing track speed during the card, a 4 horse filed, super-slow pace. I took off a lot more from that race than the surrounding races, but I couldn\'t in good conscience take off more. There is a reason High Star was 3/5--the others weren\'t that good.

You are free to make a handicapping decision that the pace made it impossible to run faster--your call.

Changeintheweather ran last Sat. in an alw. came out of that race with a 10.2 barely won against similar fig horses, top one being 8.1. So I\'m guessing the fig is correct.
