Sheets v. Thorograph v. "the Xtras"

I find the pace numbers very helpful on the Xtras and have a continuing appreciation for what "the Lens" do (that being said got killed on In The Gold at the B/C last year on their advice). I realize you are all very good handicappers, but take Mr. Byk's advice and read Betting Thoroughbreds by Steve Davidowitz's book; absolutely great...

Well then, I don't understand your initial post when you started this thread:

Did you gain all that knowledge in between 9/12, when you first posted, and 9/13, when you suddenly had opinions on all 3?

Something's screwy.
