This is particularly "troubling" when you look at the BL Odds which have gone from 2.5 to 1.8.

Thoughts?
I don't use RDSS presently so take my view on this from that standpoint.
What I see is when you bring TWO DO up from the secondary contenders, it brings up a horse who is ranked 3rd in EPR and 2nd in TT. Notice that affects the readings of BALLIN lowing its rank to #4 and also affectin MO TOWN and MARK T's rankings as well.

That happens again within TT as TWO DO is tying in ranking with MARK T.

This has caused the 3 horses ranked above AMERICAN MINK to have have larger BL scores and not changing AMERICAN MINKS but AMERICAN MINK has closed the gap on the horses ranked above it making its odds ranking to be lowered.

I am not real good at writing what I am seeing but I hope maybe this might help.
