First, there are 2 sheet methodology products, Ragozin & Thoro-Graph. Ragozin's were the first but Jerry Brown's Thoro-Graph has far surpassed them. Think of them as Hydrox and Oreo's.
In addition to providing consistently more accurate performance figures, Thoro-Graph adds layers of value-added statistics and trend info on sires and trainers. You can sometimes gain as much insight with these stats as you do the figures. The product (at $25/card, less with additional cards) easily pays for itself with the discovery of a vulnerable, overbet favorite or highly obscured contender. There is no single handicapping tool available that so readily and regularly makes seemingly impossible longshots apparent. I have used TG since 1995.
At their website you can learn how to use the sheets via the Race of the Week and reams of historical data (Redboard Room; Triple Crown/Breeders' Cup) as well as in their 'Ask the Experts' Forum. In addition, here's the link to our ongoing TG Xmas-New Year's Free Data conversation.
