Yes, I am aware of that, but I don’t think an opening 1/4 of 23:4 should impact the final quarter that negatively. Like I said, we shall see.

It's good not to tailor the truth to fit our personal agendas. Try comparing the first two fractions to those of the Woodward, as an aside a figure that for some reason you are not questioning despite it relying on the Champagne number being correct, before determining whether or not they were fast or slow.

I’m not attempting “ to tailor the truth.” I did not use theWoodward because it was 14 points higher and thus not comparable. I used the 5th race because it was comparable and it pointed out that the number was valid, which is all I was attempting to do, as I originally thought the number was too high but was proven wrong. P.S. I still don’t think that was a strong finish. We’ll find out down the road.

Of course it's comparable. Making that statement sort of disqualifies you from questioning numbers. Not sure how an 8.5 furlong fig is comparable to an 8 furlong one while a 9 furlong one, all around one turn, is not.

We got it. You don't like Jack Christopher, a son of Munnings, in the KY Derby. Not exactly putting yourself out on a limb here. However, none of that has anything to do with his fig.

After this discourse. I can really sympathize with Anthony Stabile.

Sorry if you have a problem with being asked to defend your opinion. Opinions have no merit if they can't be backed up....regardless of who gives them or where. I think true racing fans and bettors appreciate intelligent discourse.

[southerndutch]

I do appreciate intelligent discourse. My prior comment about Anthony was “tongue in cheek” as I truly enjoy the pre card bantering between the two of you. As for defending myself, what’s to defend? I sought out a number, that number indicated my original hypothesis was incorrect. I then stated an opinion that can only be verified by future races.

Perhaps you would like to purchase a few dozen of the lunch wagers he has lost to Andy?

[southerndutch]

It would be my pleasure to pick up the tab for a lunch with Andy.
