This line struck me:
Until today, that was the harshest lesson I had experienced about some things simply being out of your control
I've met Dave a few times over many years and like him. He is right that he comes from a different time when public handicappers sold papers. There was no Equibase, internet and few patrons bought a form (too expensive). They bought the NY Post or Daily News or tip sheets at the track. The win % was a selling point and ROI was rarely, if ever, mentioned.
Good Luck to Dave and hope he stays in the business.
