I would guess Tim Thorton's understanding of figures would be on par with my analysis of the New York Jets offensive schemes.

Putting something out there for entertainment is all good. But a 20-part series on a 10% jockey at a meet where Torres was the leading rider (after a failed PID meet last year) is kind of excessive and the effort would be better spent doing Trips and Traps and Weekly Recap type stuff.

If you want more entertainment -- you also could have placed ads on milk cartons and kimchi jars to get Mortimer/Clyde to post here again under a new handle.

I find a 20-part series on that jockey almost as excessive as I find Mortimer/Clyde
Sadly, Mortimer/Clyde has been allowed back into esoteric, under a new name.
