Forgetting about everything else, the Wizard has built his following by having a pretty good opinion. His sheet has been around for over 20 years now and he has built up a strong following. He's not a charlatan.

You don't like him because of his public persona. That's understandable....but his opinion is pretty good....or at least it was when I used to see his sheet sometimes.

The first Pick-6 I ever hit was Labor Day in 1988, when Evening Kris won the Jerome, and Michael was one of the partners on the ticket. I honestly haven't talked to him in a number of years, but he was an OK guy back in the day, a little odd....but aren't we all.

I care if there is information we gave at NYRA that was inaccurate, but the way he presented it in that link was unfair, to say the least. I have no patience whatsoever for inaccuracies. He certainly could have e-mailed me at NYRA if he had some constructive criticisms of our broadcast.
