Default Ragozin Sheets Confusion.......

I'm sure there is someone on the board that can help me understand why Teuflesberg, received a “9” for winning the Southwest, while Hard Spun, who finished fourth at 1-2 after a wide trip got a “6”. Is it not that in Ragozin world, lower is better? I'm confused!

Rag takes the trip into account. Ideal trip win can be a lesser race than a troubled trip loss.

They take into account weight and ground loss.

Hard Spun was hung wide on both turns, while the winnner saved ground on both turns---Hard Spun also carried more weight than the winner

That is why Rags and TG's sell!
