As someone who utilizes Thoro-Graph and represents the product, my own interpretation of the figs and patterns resulted in my tabbing 1.) Rachel Alexandra, 2.) Musket Man and 3.) Mine That Bird as my top three... so clearly that version of the outcome could have been projected by TG sheets users.

And as a sidenote, that $25 for the Preakness card TG's would have put you in position to spot potential performances like No Advatage's ($28), Motown Shuffle's ($40) and Everyday Heroes ($16) in addition to that Preakness Triple.
I'll back this up as a TG user... however I would like to note two things. (1) everybody has their own interpretation of patterns, I'm not big on trying to interpret form cycles and "bounces" however I think he produces the BEST raw figures which is why I buy them, and (2) they are less useful on "cheap" horses because they are less likely to run to their previous figures, therefore I only tend to buy them for big meets and big days.

I also think it's important to use them IN CONJUNCTION with traditional (Bris/DRF/Equibase) forms and video because old-school running lines still matter.
