Not to take anything away from BTW, but there are a few guys you can find only on boards -- who should be offered some kind of platform by someone.

CJ (CM Orioles) - for instance - has had a dynamic impact on my own handicapping. I was ignorant to pace figures before I ever studied his takes on the subject. I always viewed pace as an extremely important factor -- but at the same time I viewed pace figures as basically garbage.

In short time, because of him, I 'got it' -- and pace figures have a huge role in both my handicapping -- and my trip notes for previously run races.

Using pace figures to make trip notes has helped me find some horses who've won at huge prices with preposterous looking forms -- and many times -- are a great thing for helping find short priced horses who appear the one to beat on paper but are clear-cut bet againsts.

It's just a nasty rumor that all of the booze and LSD has made me a washed up has-been.

Nice interview. Wish there had been a little more about going to the track with your dad. I'd love to hear about that...

(I won't put the part about how thrilled I am that we now have your birthday on record since we all know how much you enjoy birthday threads!!!)

Oh swoon!

Ooops I mean hey thank you Sir.
