I haven't played since the new board, but the one tip I still follow from the espn board was the highlighting of the form first, and then going back through, it has helped me not miss things.

Anyway...just thought I'd put that out there.

i hope the"hater" comment wasnt directed at me since im the one who started this thread. again i have zero respect for those who sell picks.......nothing short of pond scum! if you dont like my opinion well sorry too bad for you. and also again i dont feel sorry for any FOOL who buys picks and loses their money, you deserve what you get

He doesn't like selling picks either... he was saying that Oracle should continue to post his picks on the board, even if the "haters" don't like it. He made no mention of the original title to this thread.

well cajun ive never discouraged people posting their picks. i used to post mine all the time the first few years i was on the board(espn) and alotta those picks including many for whole cards had positive results. i thought the previous place i mentioned always lacked one thing win or lose when picks were posted and thats why people liked a particular horse in a respective race and not enough comparison with people who were also handicapping the same races.

the last thing cajun im trying to do here is fight with any1

Information I would pay for is how the horse looked in his last two works. I just dont want the time. I want the time, if he worked in company; who was the other horse, did he finish in front or behind the company, how did he look after the work, did he eat his food, how did he look cooling out etc etc. Give me this information and I will buy it. Watching works and race replays are the two most important tools in handicapping. Watching works led me to bet Lemons Forever and Sunriver. WORKS WORKS WORKS is what I want.

It led me to Lemons Forever as well... it also led me to Hemingway's Key in the Preakness. I thought (based upon how he was working), that he looked much the best out of the longshots. The only bad thing about taking another person's advice on how the horse looked is that you would have to trust that person's judgement. Some people may think that (for example), SNS looked great working before the derby, but some others said he looked like crap. I would want to have the same judgement on horses if I was going to pay for that info.

I know. Was not directing anything towards you. I think we are starting to spin out of control.
