In my opinion, it's always nice to help someone not lose their money.

You're "helping" someone lose their money in a way when you make a winning bet. . . or at least profiting off their loss. . . I guess from your perspective as a public handicapper it's different. . .

Of course you profit from the losses of others......but you don't help them lose. They will lose regardless of whether or not someone else wins or even bets.

I'll be surprised if Capt. Candyman Can doesn't win the Bay Shore.

You're probably right. . . which makes the PK4 basically unplayable.

I get brought up for picking Giant Moon but not Yano?

Thanks, Andy Serling. I'll pass the Excelsior. As much as I'd like to say otherwise, I've yet to have a horse win after you gave him one of your "no chance" comments(of course, this time you said "next to no chance).

"Next to no chance", I'll look forward to you using that precise phrase in your evaluation of the Derby field
