fair comment Steve..but you put up 5 choices which didn't win

to be fair i could write analysis of each horse in the Leger and give each one a slight positive which i could focus on afterwards..i'm not having a go at you ..just saying that its easy to latch on to a positve later...to be fair when you give 5 choices and none wins including a 1/2 fav i wouldn't really be trying afterwards to suggest that on this particular occasion the dosage has somehow been that successfull..there wasn't that many runners in the race really was there either?

as i've said in the past..i'm no expert on the dosage...and i'm also no casual knocker of it... but a few years ago i did a fair bit of analysis trying to find an edge in maiden races using the dosage and I found too many examples where the outliers were confounding the distance expectations for it to make a profit from it. Maybe i tried in the wrong races or i'm not much good at knocking it into shape..which just left me feeling it wasn't a tool i would personally rely on too much.

Then again many think the same about using the clock/sectionals etc ....its punters for courses really i think
