Funny what people choose to remember. I guess one wrong split variant makes the whole concept dangerous. Also funny to hear about this from anyone that uses the Thorographs....where they split the variant constantly ( not to say they are wrong ).

I stopped posting how I took advantage of Beyer breaking out a Mossflower allowance win after two years when she won the G1 stake next out, so that should be the limit.
TG splits the variant much more than anyone else. Split variants are actually pretty easy. The tough ones are when you have a race in the middle that doesn't fit with the others on both sides. Neither Beyer nor TG use pace, and sometimes that is the reason for these split variants. The problem with that is the extreme pace, whether fast or slow, doesn't affect all horses the same.
This is all for another thread someday though, I want to hear more about Lemons Forever being Personal Ensign reborn.
As for the Belmont, Jazil might not have passed Funny Cide.
