My attitude is always the same and was when Vectors was brought up. Sartin on
workouts, Sartin; "Considering them often does more harm than good." Accurate and correct quote.

Having been a Ray Taulbot devotee prior to Sartin, I can testify that Sartin workout criteria was obtained from Ray Taulbout long before Sartin ever came about. Sartin used the best from everyone and brought the best at that time together for a greater good and achievement.

Ray Taulbot's theory was that any horse that can work out in 12 per furlong was a sound horse. It was both an indication of fitness and soundness.

Sartin; "Considering them often does more harm than good." And for the majority This is accurate and true. I'm able to zig and zag and to this day I still use them but not like others do. I employ them situational to specific criteria.

For the majority I don't recommend them as they'll misuse it much like % Med. Which BTW most don't also use properly.

I was given Entropy at a 1990 seminar for testing purposes, loved it. In fact, after finding RDSS I tried to get Ted o keep it within the program. But agree with Ted in that its child's play as compared to what replaced it. Those wishing to become a complete handicapper, increase their bottom line and get more winners would profit considerably with its replacement.

"So, like your desire for workout info that Howard says does more harm than good, why is it, that you do not show the same respect for other info that would help other people?" Like Howard moved people along and Ted with Entropy those with resistance to change must be coached along. And those that don't? Well, that fine too and may their carcass's litter the highways, because we need their contribution to the game as someone must pay winners.

To get to point B from point A sometimes requires a change in planes, trains or highways.
