BT,

Ask whatever questions you want and the TG players here can help you walk through it. I host the Thoro-Graph Seminars at Saratoga on the weekends and Scav has helped do statistical research work for Jerry Brown. A number of others here a very familiar with the figures and patterns as well.

Spend a few minutes reading through the basic explanation page first though to get a feel for what is on the sheets. From there, you are looking to "read the pattern" of each horse in a race as a means t project what kind of effort to expect today.

Is the horse ready to establish a new "top"?

Is the horse likely to regress ("bounce" or "off" or "X") because his last effort was a strenuous one?

Has a horse coming off a new top he had enough time since that effort to expect a similar performance ("pair").

There is a lot to it, and it takes time to understand the patterns, but the figures are a tremendous tool which I use daily and believe in implicitly.

We're meeting people for a Dinner shortly, but will check back later to see if there is anything you came up with. I would encourage everyone interested to register at Thoro-Graph and use the free product all week.

We can use the thread as a Q and A for anyone learning the product...
