He's looking at a past performance and tape -- and his conclusions are basically opinions based on observations and the way he writes them out makes him look like a BS artist.

Horse racing video games have been addressing this subject for a great many years now...

They look like this: (lower half of screen)

Very interesting. He seems a good and accurate detail observer of horse behavior. His comments match what some of the trainers have said.

It is and it isn't.

Knowing all the traits, intangibles, and habits of a race horse is an edge and can be accomplished with a little work when it's worth all the effort ... but this is dressing it up (dare I say gaying it up) way too much.

Read what his profile of Trinninberg says.

It's very obviously written by someone who knows the horse is a sprinter and has no hope of getting 10F Saturday.

His psychology on the horse is moronic.

Does Triiniberg have any hope of getting the 10 on Saturday...I dont think someone saying he can't is stating anything "moronic"

What do you make of Creative Cause?

I like him on style, but I didn't like how he seemed to get "hung-up" in his last race.

Fair enough...I'm cynical too, but to call the guy a fraud, that's just not right..let's wait and see how the race plays out for cryin out loud and if his writings or ideas are spot on, let him make his $$$...more power to him....you or I don't have to buy or believe his stuff.

I think it's a breath of fresh air, whether it's a new or old idea dont matter to me....I hadnt looked at races this way before so it's new to me...and interesting to me and evidently to others.


For those non believers....go to a different church or a different gypsie
