TG sheet had him getting a 29 in France, with a chart call of \"last, never a factor\"
in a 12-horse field. Explanation?

Look at your form. TG posted wrong horse.

From what I can see, not wrong horse, wrong # two back (looks like an input error). And clearly not a top either way. Since she ran a new top the next time out, it\'s hard to see it making much of a difference either way in the read.

I meant wrong number. little bit of backslapping on the Rags board over this horse -- 7s this year on their scale --, tho i think the soft turf was the main factor.

still, 8k pick-4s don\'t grow on trees.

Jerry, I\'ll actually be at the seminar on Saturday. Last hurrah after birth of the 3rd kid. Please help me make money for the college fund.

I\'ll be there.

Do you know what the other fillies had on Ragozin? My guess would be around the 5-6 level-- we run about 3 1/2 faster on dirt, about 2 on grass, usually. And no, I don\'t know why there\'s a difference.

Don\'t know what the others had on Rags. Only bought your data. To be honest, I was smitten with the 1,2,3 in the race. I imagine i woulda gotten my money back with a bonus if Ruthy had held on.

Did anyone else think the pick 4 paid a little low considering how big a day this was and the kind of horses that won that pick 4?  Maybe i\'m just being greedy but I thought I would have collected another 1K or 2K on that one for sure..

Thanks Tony,
Unfortunately too far in between those kinds of scores..Sorry to hear about the  DQ, I needed them to leave that one up also for a better payoff..but as you said  it was pretty clear he should have come down.
