It also helps a lot when there is a class rise or a cut in claiming price. My point is that what you can't definitively read on paper. Nor fitness. And in the average race at the average track, those are often the two biggest factors in determining whether your horse will run well or not.
If you're going to say that KNOWING intention and fitness isn't key, well, I'm just going to have to disagree with you there..
