I do not like that judgments are being published as facts. These judgements have too much of an effect on what the wagering public does. What if his judgement would have been to stick with the 123 and they had published that? U all know that the difference between the 123 and the 116 might be the difference between whether he's 8/5 in his next race or 3/5. This stuff is too important to rely on one person's judgement, IMO. It's dangerous. While, I'm not suggesting that his own wagering interests might be furthered by issuing a specific number, I can't help but feel like by doing it this way, u leave yourself open to people wondering if that's the case. One of my favorite quotes says "flee all appearance of evil." Not all evil only but even the appearance of it.
