Thanks flip for the kind compliment..
For me, since I didn't weigh in on the 'Favorite Simulcast Analyst' thread, I'm happy to again acknowledge publicly that I find Andy Serling's opinion invaluable over and over. Few if any public handicappers have ever consistently provided as much bankable information, advice and insight as Andy.
While I rely on mine own view of races first and foremost, it's notable to me that when Andy likes a horse that I don't like at all, I invariably have either misread a pace scenario or am unaware of a trip issue said horse experienced. Beyond the innumerable race-watching he does for all of us, his directing of bankroll application and suggestions of where to look for opportunities, transcends anything else on-air analysts are doing.
While I respect Kurt Hoover, Mike Battaglia, Jill Byrne and others that were part of the "favorite" analyst poll, if they had titled the thing "most valuable" simulcast analyst, Serling wins in a walkover.
