The don't do it that often, to be fair but it does make you wonder if they should do it more often. And the Magical Ride race(I think that's it) from last summer was lowered like 30 points. That's inexcusable.

And was it not stated recently that Thoro, and others have had this same occurance? If so, lets move on from this one. Its getting old.

Picked out any "lshots" today Rand? I'm looking.

Nope but you just hit for a 54 dollar gain at Gulf. I'm getting nervous.

You are 350 behind. Another big day and it could be down to 250. I just peed my pants. LOL

Change rightaway, I thought that was a problem for only the elderly. I don't want you getting a rash. Not to mention that its terribly unbecoming to those with you.

Blacktroatedwind (and anyone who may make thier own figures) -

Are certain tracks typically harder to make figures for?

Actually, that Magical Ride race figure was very excusable if you know anything about making figures and tried to make them for that day.

30 points. Yes the variant was difficult. But that isn't 10 points. That's a pole and a half difference.

The race was for a field of horses with no history, run at a rarely run distance that for some reason was running fast, most likely the run up. Beyer has to make a figure within a few days per contract, so he can't wait for the horses to run back.

Also, the change was around 20 points, not 30, which is about 6 lengths at 5 furlongs. That is no pole and a half, and shows me you aren't really familiar with making numbers.

LOL, it was more than 20 I think. And I was exagerrating for sure. 6 lengths? C'mon. I highly doubt that...But I know how Thoros are made. I don't put much into Beyers which the Valid Video race and Shake You Down race at the Spa convinced me of.

20 points at 5f on Beyer is 6.5 lengths.

Seriously, if you didn't know that was in the ballpark, I'm not sure how you can then knock the figures like you understand them. You don't.
