Nice effort by DaSilva in today's NY Post

It has nothing to do with doing my own work. I'm not personally betting on John DaSilva's scintillaing info, but there are those that might be. It's simply an issue of making an effort. It's an awesome job he has, respect it!

Seriously, you are defending him by saying he is limited in space? Really?

All the crap that is in the NY Post and there isn't enough room to write more about a Grade 1 winner of one of the most prestigeous sprints in the country than "Here Comes Ben"? Please. Don't write anything then.

I do get paid for this and I do have space limitations. I also write more in my analysis but once it is sent to the office, they edit it for space purposes and I have no control over what is taken out. Ed and myself have been trying to get them to put the full analysis and binocs and stories on the internet where there is no space limitations. Hopefully one day that will happen. BTW, I picked Here Comes Ben third and I wasn't going to go crazy writing more about a horse third than my first two choices but my comments about him were more than what you saw in the paper.
