Default give Serling credit as well ["synthetic turf"]

Beyer quote from page 6 of Saturday's BC DRF:

"Andy Serling, in-house racing analyst for the New York Racing Association, declares: 'The synthetic tracks are more like synthetic turf courses than dirt courses. They should paint them all green.'"

There have been a LOT of people saying that same thing since 2006.

All his system did was make retards able to read a racing form, if that is making someone "elite" then yes you are correct.

This begs the obvious question.......how were you able to read the Form before the inclusion of the Beyer figures?

I have never been able to read the form.. I prefer betting on fixed races. The take out and trip work just doesn't seem to matter when you know CC lopez is going to be left at the gate.

PICTURES, or course. But those big bold numbers really make it easy to pick the 3-5 shots every race!!

But CAN YOU FOLLOW up on your own advice?

I think he's more than proven that his opinion is worth listening to. I think there are several members of this board that have opinions that are worth listening to more than others as well. Even when I disagree with them. Blackthroatedwind, for example, is one who's opinions I place a lot of value in, even if he thinks I'm being disingenuous when I say that.
