There is no big brown , there is no cheap horse, all I see is a final time, and a track variant.
well that is the utopian view.
in reality we see projections, we see pre-judging a race or a horse by their ability or class. we see variants made by the evaluation of a horse, as opposed to the track.
All this, and these guys do a great job with the figures and produce a great resource for horseplayers. It's hard to make good figures and these guys do it.

Why does he lose five lengths automatically simply because of his post? Does running style matter? Does Giacomo lose the same amount as Big Brown?
