So your methodology did not yield a definitive conclusion if the horse would bounce...but traditional handicapping, you know the perfect trip in the derby, the slop, and the odds prevented you from liking him.

Its probably me but thats funny for $25 bucks.

one thing about it he seemed to have all bases covered weather MTB won ran 2nd, 3rd or off the Board to be honest it is kind of funny

What is the weight adjustment in those figures? For some reason, I was thinking that 1 lbs was equal to a 1/4 point, or something along those lines.

5 lbs is a point I believe..

5lbs at 5 furlongs equals one length.

So, RA got almost a 2 length break in weights on that scale.

It's one length per path of ground wide on the turn.

So .. if two horses dead heat going 10fs .. but one carried 5lbs more and was 3 wide on both turn instead of 2 wide on both turns .. said horse would get a sheet figure four lengths faster.
