We do the show from the third floor while the horses are in the paddock. I will, however, try to go to the boxes for the race.

Guess I never thought about it from that perspective. I didn't mean to put you into an ethical quandary. Sorry about that, I forgot how perceptions of people especially in this business can jump to asinine conclusions. I guess I'm just way to naive and trusting.

Look forward to seeing you if you can find the time.

I don't know how asinine it would be if someone saw a TV handicapping analyst in the winner's circle with, say, some horse that paid $33, after he never mentioned that horse on the air, and felt possibly duped. Or, let's say I picked the horse, then some people might feel I had some inside information.

Appearances matter.

Fair enough.

But to tell the truth I don't even have any "inside information" I guess I'm just not connected enough. All I ever hear from the trainer is that she is doing "real good", what ever that means.

As always looking forward to seeing how your picks compare to mine.

You could fit the amount of inside information I get on the head of a pin.....but most people don't think that.

I agree steve, the 9 was just one of the crowd. He also was the highest payout of the 5 horses i had in the pick 4. However, I had tossed macho again based upon his erratic form. Without you having as your top selection, i would never have used him. Thanks again for all your hard work and making me look at a horse again who i had breezed over earlier.

Please tell me what channel you are on. The girl at the OTB says she'll put it on for me.
