Thanks. I pretty much had the winners figured out, but I had no clue on the 2nd place horses which killed my exactas in the ROI. Gonna have to work on that. Hopefully I got something to carry forward from this year that will help me in the future. I try to be optimistic in this never ending work in progress called handicapping.

Maybe for the first part of it, but judging from my past performances, I am incapable of playing well from the midpoint on. I think it all depends on what I got out of this year. I generally handicap reasonably well, but my betting sucks.
We’ll see, if this old dog can be taught new tricks.

From this old dog . . . I'm not sure but from others here, yes! I've had them to learn form for many years
