I do not trust the Tampa TG's....at all.

Bigger tracks only for me.

if you guys don't trust the TG #s certain places how about the beyer #s at those tracks?

I don't fully trust any figures.

I usually use them as a tiebreaker or a quick way to eliminate horses that can't contend. Beyers at Tampa are okay, the tougher task is to compare figs (any figs) for horses shipping in from other tracks and somehow coming up with the best horse. That is part of why you can usually see some big prices at the beginning of a meet. Once horses have run over a track a couple times, it becomes easier to identify contenders and the prices seem to settle down.

agree 100%.
you can sometimes get a feel for which tracks might have numbers that are 'off' (good and bad) by noticing how well the invaders are doing.
as long as they appear consistent they are useful.

In this race I'll believe my eyeballs. And KNS made them pop with her late speed and stride. She ran super

It becomes easier to identify contenders and tougher to find overlays when things regress to the norm....

Beyers in WV always seem too high
