Ask the Experts / TG figures for horses getting out down the lane?
« on: December 28, 2011, 05:28:17 PM »
I hope this is an appropriate post for this forum - it is my first on this site.
It appears that the TG figures do not account for ground loss down the lane.
For example, there is a filly entered at Turfway on Thursday who was \"2w\" on the turn in a sprint last out, but who then drifted to the 4 path at the quarter pole and crossed the wire in the 7 or 8 path.
Am I correct in my assumption that this was not reflected in her TG figure?
And if not reflected, should there be some kind of shorthand adjustment for a trip like this?
Thanks to all.
