Here's what I think, the author of this thread had a tip on a 43-1 shot, bet nothing to win on him while playing Pick-4s and singling Songster. Instead of pehaps reexamining the overall intelligence of that, it has been concluded that Tom Albertrani is, among many things, a liar and an overrated trainer.

Sounds like a sane and logical progression to me.

Here's a tip, and I can make it because I am a winning horseplayer.....winning horseplayers waste little to no time blaming others for their invariable mistakes. They learn from them and become better players.
I had no tip on him. I felt Biancone's horse could be beat because he had an inside post and thought that Hushion's wreck of a favorite in the 7th could be beat as well. So I spread 7x4x1x8. I though the last race was impossible as well so I tossed only the 2 and 6.
I certainly know a thing or two about watching races, its quite vital in spotting potential purchases which is what I do.
The horse was dead short and I believe he will say as much in coming days or weeks. I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with the complete bs he spoke about how ready he was. Like i said, he either lied or misjudged his fitness level. Top trainers do lie, top trainers rarely misjudge fitness levels of graded stakes horses so badly. If he was actually just lying i have more respect for him!!!!
