Privman's Q&A w/ BTW

[Calzone Lord]

Not to take anything away from BTW, but there are a few guys you can find only on boards -- who should be offered some kind of platform by someone.

CJ (CM Orioles) - for instance - has had a dynamic impact on my own handicapping. I was ignorant to pace figures before I ever studied his takes on the subject. I always viewed pace as an extremely important factor -- but at the same time I viewed pace figures as basically garbage.

In short time, because of him, I 'got it' -- and pace figures have a huge role in both my handicapping -- and my trip notes for previously run races.

Using pace figures to make trip notes has helped me find some horses who've won at huge prices with preposterous looking forms -- and many times -- are a great thing for helping find short priced horses who appear the one to beat on paper but are clear-cut bet againsts.
