No they never did respond, honestly though i had no right even sending my resume in, there was really nothing that qualified me to be a Public Handicapper.........
Me crushing Hoss in " The Big Contest " could do wonders for my resume though

The Form has been trimming handicapping staff for 2 years, and they especially have little use for handicappers. In the past 24 months, full timers like Lauren Stich, Dave Tuley, Brian Pochman and more were offered contracts as outside workers (no benefits) in an on-going purge to cut costs. Many of the Closer Look writers became outside contracted and just 2 weeks ago most of the NY handicapping desk (Grabowski, Malecki, Kachulis, Gropper) was eliminated. Only Litfin and Kenny Peck remain. Point is, the idea of signing on at DRF right now as a handicapper is the longest of longshots.

If they could really handicap, then they would be betting(not writing.)
