I think it's a tricky question because the graded stakes committee is capable of doing surprising things without logic from time to time. I suppose the Clement Hirsch at Del Mar .. it was a Grade 2 when Zenyatta beat Model two years ago - it was raised to Grade 1 status last year and Zenyatta beat ...

Tell DougS we miss his trivia questions and lists. I hope he recovers from whatever ails him.

1. Me- My brief stint as a blogger has to put me at #1 on this list. A long history of big scores, and devastatingly good insight have helped me secure this spot.

2. Doug- The Man, the myth, the legend.... Simply put, Doug is one of the best. If you dont believe me, YAHOO HIM.

3. Andy- The Face of NYRA, he takes strong stands and is very bold in his handicapping. At this rate, someday he could take the top spot from me.

4. Steve- This website says it all, his show is also great. I wanted to put Steve #1, but on a personal note he has darted me at least 6 times, so I just could not.

5. Nick Tammaro- His spot on capital otb website says it all. Virtual Nick is classic, If I ever want to see his face or hear his voice I go.... Everytime I ask him his opinion on a race he sends me there, he needs the "hits" so everyone reading this should go check it out.

Fine work, Joe... especially the part about Yahoo-ing Doug!

He darted you one time and with my pleading, you were back before you knew you were even gone!

I am easily your biggest fan. DT is much better off with you than without.

My top whatever favorite things about PG, in absolutely no particular order.

1. 1985
2. Your ability to change your mind more often that Imelda Marcos in her shoe barn.
3. Your ability to hex anything.
4. The way you rile up people is true genius.
5. The way you suck up to people that you know are better at this stuff than you.
6. Your dogged persistence to stay around.
7. Your obsession with GC.
8. How your obsession with GC always gave you away when you came on here with yet another name.

I'm sure there's lots more too.

Clearly no one is better then me, hence the #1 ranking on this list. My obsession is changing a bit. I love RHT as a sire, I cought him early on with turf horses, before anyone really knew. Im also really loving Candy Ride, check out HollyWood Race 5 yesterday... I had a small win bet.

I've always enjoyed his utter and complete confidence in every stand he takes. He is 100% sure about Giant Moon or Nobiz Like Showbiz or whomever the horse of the minute happens to be. He goes around proclaiming that the horse can't lose....etc.

Then the horse loses.

He then goes on nearly every single thread where he touted the horse and says something akin to "What can I say, I was wrong. I admit it."

That level of self-awareness lasts....oh....about ten minutes and later that same day, he has utter and complete confidence about some other horse. You gotta love it.

How exactly was that horse's pedigree relevant? It was his 20th lifetime start and his 13th consecutive grass race.

Why ask why?

Dude, don't you keep track of how sire's progeny run in their 13th grass race? That's key info.
Candy Ride's are always hot in spots with 12 turf races under 'em. Everybody knows that.

Can we have other forum members submit their list of top 5 handicappers??? Kinda like our own version of the BCS??? How about a minimum of 1000 posts to be eligible to submit a list??? (This should be funny.)

Love this idea. Even though I don't have the thousand posts to get me a vote in this "DTS" poll, if I did -- and just based on what I personally have witnessed on "Selections" threads -- my Number One is a young, tooth-chipper that goes by the name of Rootdog1. All I ever see on those threads is that guy cashing Pick-4 tickets! Even his beats seem to be the horse's fault and not faulty handicapping on his part.
