Technically it's an 0-1-X, Term of Art put forth more effort than the an 0-2-X and indeed for study purposes and TG figure-based stats we categorize it as an pair of tops and off race pattern. Either pattern, so noted by experience, can yield forward moves and occasional new tops, the younger the horse the more likely. Thoro-Pattern however at times and this time refutes the folklore--%s--5,

Other 2yos have run faster than Trophy Chaser. I think the 's' you're referring to is adjacent the 'sy'. It means sealed.

The attached sheets show updates on the Belmont 9/15 card in races 2, 5, 9. Note in Race 4 and Race 10 there is a box for each horse that raced on 8/18/18 Race 5 at Saratoga. We couldn't make an accurate figure yet.

The Travers Day Thoro-Graph Live Seminar adjacent the track will be held at 9:00 am at Trackside Grill, between Nelson and Lincoln. I, TGAB, will be leading the discussion. It will start promptly and we will (believe it or not for some) be moving right along. Trackside Grill has a previous commitment at 10:30 am.

No, the races are right the descriptions shown in STEP 4 of download wrong. We'll have 2 options: 1. download; or 2. We can remove and wait until the final overnight arrives, rerun and upload. The final file will be in later today, probably late morning, early afternoon. The descriptions on the bottom left of each sheet are right.
What do you think?

Think Race Shapes--that's what we use to estimate where the horse will be after the first quarter. But we think of it in terms of what horses potentially lose or save ground from the given post. See attachment.
We advocate using whatever you feel will make you a more successful handicapper both in terms of sussing out races and wagering. We feel Thoro-Graph provides a comprehensive pack

The sire English Channel gets 5-3/4 points of improvement from his runners from two through four. Voodoo Song's turf best at two was 16 as you note, but it came 14 days after his initial start which came on dirt and was 4-3/4 points worse. Certainly with hindsight one can deduce that figure for the 2yo turf effort wasn't a top. Indeed it was a bounce off the sprint debut.
That 16 is

Start slow and taken up like eased up while winning or running on a dead rail are noted on the sheet but the figures are NOT adjusted for their affect. We deem these events as subjective and put the note there to let the handicapper know that something may have happened in the running of the race that may have affected the final figure. It's up to the handicapper to make an adjustment if nec

Silver Charm's response notwithstanding, which certainly happens, look at the TGI (Thoro-Graph Index, an average of tops run by the sire's runners in each category) for the sire. As a rule tbreds develop about 6 points from their 2yo top through their 4yo year and a point more for 5 and up. All levels of talent will run close to this average, the faster more talented horses will do it a

The easy response is greater than a 7-1/4 since the TG figure-based studies measure pair-ups as within a point, anywhere from a 5-1/4 to 7-1/4. But it's kind of hard to say--even a 10 would have been a secondary top, but obviously the better the top, the more confident this handicapper would be as to how badly she was affected by the first 6. In Skeptic's case even a 7-1/2, 8 might have

We've had this product and pricing structure in place for quite a while. Occasionally we offer Specials for highlighted occasions or when unusual conditions warrant it such as the GP card on Saturday.
It's unlikely we'll make any changes at this time.

Gulfstream Park's card on Saturday 12/9/17 comprises 11 races, 6 for North American horses, and 5 for Caribbean and South American thoroughbreds. We do not make figures as a rule for primarily Caribbean and South American runners and as such we can offer little if any information for any of the runners in these latter 5 races.
So for this Saturday 12/9/17, we will sell each of the first 6
