He's certainly done far less rating in two-turn races than Haynesfield has.

Oh Joe, someday you'll learn. Nothing circular about that. Look to the pace thread Doug started to understand.

Don't talk down to me Rx boy. Haynesfield can't rate except when he's too slow. He'll get burned by the fast pace that he's too slow to keep up with. Quality Road can rate off the fast pace. He doesn't usually because he's too fast.

Ok, I get it now. I am only using two horses in that race, Lookin at Lucky and Blame, but it isn't one of my preferred betting races so I will be light within the race unless the day is going really really well.

Lucky is very dangerous in this race. He can steal this off Blame and Zenyatta

You look at the word dosage and close the browser.

Oh, I don't know about that.

I'd certainly like to know what dosages the trainers of these horses are going to be using.

First off, he's the dosage guy. . . so assuming he can do anything else competently is a stretch. Also, all you have to do is look at the figures to see that there's something way off with them.

o.k.. I don't have time to figure that stuff out anyway come Friday/Saturday, so I won't waste my time trying. (Best of luck to Puck though.)
