If you can make so much money of this stuff why don't you drop some winners on us when Turfway opens back up for business. It's not that I can't handicap this stuff it's like O said they're all over the place on this stuff. Hardly any hosres held form at Turfway this winter. I'm with O on this being a blessing in that my other favorite tracks on the East coast will get fat with horses by the end of the 2008 spring meet.

It is no big deal to me that horses didnt hold form at Turfway this year. I could care less what horses that raced at Turfway did at other tracks. You cant use that as an indicator. Turfway winter meet was a great learning experience for handicappers and I think people will wager on it. Bettors are bettors and once they grasp the handicapping angles, they will wager. Now a horse that I can't get a grasp on is High Cotton. The horse did ok at Turfway and is doing OK on dirt. But I am sort of confused by that horse.
The east coast tracks that will flouirsh (if any at all) will be either Mountaineer or PA tracks. I cant see too many trainers from Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana shipping their horse to New York.
But when Turfway opens this fall, I will give out some picks and hopefully they will come in for us.
