You want advice? Here's advice.

1. If the man is gracious enough to share his thoughts on a race, that's enough, period. If it sparks any well meant and modulated debate/discussion, that's even better.

2. If you want to turn his thoughts into betting "advice," take the longest price of whatever horses he lists for a race and bet it to win.

3. It's a great thing that serious horseplayers are sharing ideas and races they like. The worst thing that happens is that someone gives an extra measure of thought to a horse they did not initially like. At it's best, some very good things can -- and do -- happen here.

4. If you are suggesting anyone here is claiming a novice horseplayer can make long term returns off of anyone's listed selections made a day before a race is run, you are wrong and that is what you are suggesting.

5. If a novice player, or anyone, is able to learn how another person saw merit in a long priced horse they had dismissed and learned in the process, that's what I think most of us are hoping for and the reason why we enjoy this group.

good luck.
