And yes it is not a handicapping contest. But a lot of those handicapping contests are stupid also. You try to pick a few long shot winners and hope all the favorites lose in many of the setups. I dont see any use in handicapping against other handicappers, I see it much more valuable as taking horses based on the likelyhood of winning v. the reward as decided by the public, and thats not an integral part of many handicapping contests.

Yeah, well, I'm kind of kicking myself for picking Asmussen too. O'Neill no doubt would have been a better choice. On numbers alone, though, one should have gone for Pletcher and then Zito (18) I think...or Baffert (17).
