[MISTERGEE]

brought this thread out of mothballs for a reason. was listening to ATR the other day when Steve I guess either was mentioning this thread or maybe one like it and said he really hates to see something like this because the posters probably think its so easy to post winners as a public handicapper days in advance of a race and how good would they do etc. Steve, I dont know if you will see this or not but in my case that couldnt be further than the truth. I guess for about the last 2 years of Triple Crown races only I have been posting the results of the handicappers in the Drf. Mainly because I started to notice almost no one would pick the winner. No less the exacta or tri.. Most of the time myself included. The main reason for doing this wasnt to call them out or make anyone in particular look bad. I even would always mention the ones who did well. The main reason was to give beginning handicappers and all of those who have been handicapping for years a little reminder that even if you are an expert or someone paid to handicap picking these type races is not easy for them or any of us.
