This is very silly. I can’t quite determine whether you are being deliberately obtuse or are simply taking in what it suits you to take in. I have taken the trouble to outline my rationale, not that it was incumbent on me to do so. I try to give anyone the benefit of the doubt and extend to them the courtesy of an explanation, but when all I’m getting in return are insults it is clearly self defeating... And you say I’m not doing myself any favours! Have a good look at yourself will you.

I have explained that Dosage is a stamina index that is useful in identifying stamina potential where form may be lacking or inconclusive. It is not a magic solution to all things. It confines itself to stamina aptitude. It does not attempt to determine such things as ability in an individual.

You seem to be fixated on the idea that I should stick exclusively to Dosage method in these articles. Although I do explain Dosage method within the context of word count restrictions this is not what I’m primarily attempting. In writing an article I may want to incorporate Dosage as an aid to arriving at a race prediction, but I also look at as much other evidence as is available in arriving at a conclusion. In other words I am asked to exercise my judgement in arriving at a race prediction.

I am showing both what the Dosage selects in terms of stamina suitability and looking at other variables that may have an impact in determining the result. Why this is so apparently difficult to take in a little mysterious.

Perhaps we ought to draw a line under this as I suspect we will only be repeating what has been said. I'm certainly losing the will to live and others on the forum are taking no enjoyment of it.
