I guess we will generally disagree which is what makes handicapping and the resulting betting of thoroughbreds so interesting. There are so many ways to either get to the same place or to come up with different preferred choices for the w/p/s +.
There are so many decisions to be made before investing your hard earned dollars, at least dozens. To me whichever way you go reflects a change in what could have been the outcome had there been a different decision. To use mud lines or not or turf races or not or pace call/speed rating times that are seemingly overly high and never demonstrated before or not, and of cause to use last line or some other line and how far down etc etc.
To me there is no such thing as you are not correcting or modifying or adjusting in some way the information before you in the past performances to get it to fit into an evaluation format that you are comfortable with. Perhaps I am overstating or using the idea of adjustment in too large a way and you are probably right in limiting to affecting a particular pace line by way of variant or track to track or class.
Thanks,
