Moss Pace Figures

[blackthroatedwind]

Personally I think Randy Moss is the best thing that ever happened to racing on mainstream television. However, that is irrelevent to the real discussion of this thread. Pace figures in general can be a real asset to any serious player and I think people here owe it to themselves to at least take a look at them and see if they can incorperate them into their handicapping. Every one of us can become better players and if not make more money then lose less. How can that be bad?

Under races of the week section on the DRF you can also choose to download PP's with or without the Moss Pace Figures to give them a try.

i feel more confident in my selections when i'm watching and moss chooses the same horse! i think he is very knowledgable, and he and jeanine are a formidable duo on-air.

Haven't used these particular figures yet but have found the equibase pace figures to be incredibly useful in the past. They were especially useful on the old Keeneland course where you needed to be on the lead. There were lots of races where you'd find a horse that had been on the lead three straight races but with very poor pace figures and another horse that had been 2nd or 3rd in their last three with much higher pace figures. Sure enough the horse that had been to the lead three races in a row would get hammered while my horse woud get ignored and when they broke my horse would break on top. Anyone not using pace figures would be screaming at the idiot jockey for not getting their horse to break on top. Simple pace figures would have made it obvious that their horse wasn't fast enough to break on top in that race. So I think it would be foolish for anyone to discount them from their capping especially since I imagine pace figures by Randy Moss will blow away equibase's pace figures.

I think Moss is pretty much the only Positive with respect to on-air racing (exluding TVG and all the other dish/cable networks) broadcasts. With that being said, i think the worst thing for horse racing is Kenny Maine. He's..... brutal with his dry awkward jokes that don't get picked up on by colleagues . The worst, is when they show a re-run of a race run previously in the day and he says "not gonna tell ya, watch out for ..." basically ruins the whole f*cking race, might as well just look at the damn chart. Oh yeah, he's also an automatic hedge in my book, he can't cap for sh!t
Jeanine Edwards has some smarts (and a hell of a pair of legs), I believe she was on the MD circuit for a while before she was called up to the big leagues. As far as her capping, i don't think she brings much to the table.... she does interviews, tells how the horses are acting/looking, then her day is done. She = Charlsy Canty

I like Moss a lot. I don't really care about his handicapping
(though I see how some people would). I just like hearing someone who is both articulate and knowledgable. I also used to like John Vietch as well for the same reasons when he was on. I don't care for Kenny Mayne's routine but he obviously has his fans and perhaps has some appeal to non-traditional fans or racing. I suppose that's why he's there.
