He didn't write about it.

Ahh Andy there are a few definitions to "scooped" you might want to consider here but "play" isn't one of them.

Scooped for a horse racing writer may imply that he had it before others, or even he "printed or reported" it in a column or here's one .....maybe he reported on his blog and "scooped" the other racing writers publishing stories or columns today.......thanks for clarifying that.

Good try.

You taking creative writing at night school?

No horseplayer could possibly misconstrue what I said.

Your comment seemed to imply that I attend night school but frankly it isn't worth it because again you simply don't understand when your insulting someone.

Fair enough but it wasn't meant as a slight as Byk will put out plays that at times he doesn't play because it doesn't seem to be the goal all the time to play all of your published plays as a racing writer or handicapper that represents a publication (DRF) or media venture (ATR) or any other public media that reaches large numbers of players. I am sure that every opinion in the form under SELECTIONS in the DRF doesn't get bet or many of them would be broke.

The comment had no hidden agenda or contrarian opinion it was simply 1) acknowlegement that he had recently hit the BC P6 as well and 2) was hoping that wasn't the day someone else cashed the guys thoughts from his readers rather than him. Hopefully enough said..

Doc...I think what Andy was merely trying to point out when he said that Crist "scooped" the Pick 6 was he took the whole thing down by himself. It seems as there was only one winner and I feel certain that Andy wouldn't have used the word scooped had Crist not been the lone person to take it down.

Just my 2 cents
