He's the best race caller in the business. I don't understand why he bothers being a linesmaker.

Nice guy, great family heritage.....bad racecaller, average odds maker..

I know I'm personal friends with the guy, but I'm unbiased when I say that Mike Diliberto of FG is the best morning-line maker in the game.....guy is a genius of understanding how horses will be bet...you can't even sneak him on a first time starter.....

Hell yes. The family heritage... Very important in odds making. His grandmother was a great maker of bets and odds, it was clearly passed down via the linesmaking gene. And its a recessive gene, imagine that.

Pile o crap Cunningham. Name dropping silliness is also passed on by people who lose their family money. Good Lord.
