Not asking for a computation question, just wondering why they are some evidence of how bad this years class is when they are not even giving you the whole picture on this years class....

Your question answers itself....they are, as you say, "some evidence" but not the "whole picture". All I ever said was that the PF's support what others are saying...they are a piece of the "evidence" that this year's crop appears a bit slower in the preps...that alone is far from a determination of how this year's crop will perform in the TC. The interesting thing to me is that so many horses have run races with PF's within about 25 points...to me, this makes separating them very difficult.
