The lower they price their product, the less effective it will be

So the inverse of that is if they increase the price of their product, the more effective it will be.

yes....

If they raise the price, I assume fewer people will purchase the info.

The price of TG has been stable for an extended period, but in fact, they have added more and more info (like Thoro-Trends) for that static price. Compared to the more expensive Ragozin product, which has no bonus info to it, Thoro-Graph is grossly under-priced.

I use it in all my capping and consistently find as many winners -- or bet againsts -- from the Trainer, Sire and Trend stats as I do the performance figures themselves.

Other than the price - do they both try to apply the same methodology?

More or less... Jerry Brown started with Ragozin and then went out on his own which is why there had been such animosity between the organizations. Ground loss and weight are the major factors folded in to the figs. TG also will note wind influences.

The point I was trying to make....and obviously, doing a very poor job at it, was that I was happy they did not lower the price as the poster suggested. When I'm not playing fixed odds on an exchange I'm playing against YOU. If I have these sheets and you don't because you don't want to pay the price I have an advantage and the sheets become more effective.

I think they are underpriced.....
