Re team "c" grade
You may have jumped the gun. The Handicapper may see this organization as a threat to his integrity and may feel the need to punish this organizational coup by deducting time from "C"grade. Keep it below his radar.
The Handicapper expressed a view early this morning at the Table of Knowledge that B grade should never go close to catching C grade after 2.5 laps, which is usually what happens, and he reckons if C grade got its collective act together it should have a chance of winning. He sees no need to put us further back, as we back ourselves out time after time.
