I wonder how she has time for wagering between several college classes, message boards, tutoring, working in the show horse industry, living the good life, watching videos of two year olds, teaching conformation to friends, etc.

Don't forget to throw in a triple bypass or two.

The Tampa Derby was a nice race. But I predict that it was so hard on those two that one or both will be out of the Derby. I believe one will be knocked out before the Derby and the other will be done for the year before the summer is over. Neither of these two horses finishes the summer.

Oh my God.

No I don't. And I don't know what provoked this response. Are you going to answer any of my previous questions? Or answer this...do you at least agree with some of them?

Honestly? I think anyone that claims they make money by looking at horses physically is almost certainly lying. As my friend the wise guy says, and he is as strong an expert at the physical observation of horses as there is, " they still have to have the engine ". Could a very adept eye, along with astute handicapping skills, be an advantage? Yes, but the combination is extremely rare in this business. However, what isn't rare, are people that say they win....and don't.

I'm a believer in sticking to your strengths, and one of mine is NOT having any understanding of body language, so I ignore it. And, frankly, unless you know how a horse has looked in its past starts, its appearance on one day is irrelevent.
