Fat Guy I wanted to reply to you but there is something wrong--they are sorry, but can't get your page--have you paid your dues! I liked your reply to me so I have come back to by this rout. Like you I grew up in a family keen on the nags. Like your father, they won SFA also--that`s sweet fanny adams, by the way! I worked for many years in Quality Assurance in the major Telco of that time. Statistics were our daily bread. So, I think I can say that I know full well the limitations of statistics. As someone once put it: there are lies, and there are dammed lies,and there are then statistics! I don`t think I could be described as a "keen stats man" as you put it. I was just passing on some statistics on Moses from the Sun- Herald- I think it was. It is up to each individual to put their own interpretation on those stats if they feel so inclined. Should be very careful though, statistics have a good record of com ing back and biting you! One or two of the responses have got off on the wrong track but if they keep at it they will see the light. By the way, you have`nt got a good tip for the races tomorrow have you?

Statistics are like a g-string, they hide the good bits
