Why would anyone follow selections.......I would say I would follow valid logic and argument.

Thanks flip for the kind compliment..

For me, since I didn't weigh in on the 'Favorite Simulcast Analyst' thread, I'm happy to again acknowledge publicly that I find Andy Serling's opinion invaluable over and over. Few if any public handicappers have ever consistently provided as much bankable information, advice and insight as Andy.

While I rely on mine own view of races first and foremost, it's notable to me that when Andy likes a horse that I don't like at all, I invariably have either misread a pace scenario or am unaware of a trip issue said horse experienced. Beyond the innumerable race-watching he does for all of us, his directing of bankroll application and suggestions of where to look for opportunities, transcends anything else on-air analysts are doing.

While I respect Kurt Hoover, Mike Battaglia, Jill Byrne and others that were part of the "favorite" analyst poll, if they had titled the thing "most valuable" simulcast analyst, Serling wins in a walkover.

Was that nice of Steve or what?

Nobody makes fun of Steve more than I do but I'm lucky to have him as a friend....as are others here.

Second that in a heartbeat. There are few who have looked out for me more than Steve has since the day I met him.

You're on a board with The Fat Man, he's upset
He's going off about something that you said
'Cause he doesn't get your brilliance like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm downloading the kind of porn most don't like
You'll never appreciate hot one-legged girls like I do

Andy wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
He's horse Cappin' and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you seeeeee?
You, you belong with DT, you belong with meee

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it since the DRF.COM ads were taken down
You say you're glad about it, I know you better than that
What, 60 straight days of 'next weeks guest on NYRA live web chat'?


Andy wears dress shoes, I wear sneakers
He's horse cappin' and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with DT. You belong with me.

Standing by and waiting at your back door
Sorry, that's the gayest line in any song I know
Baby, you belong with DT, you belong with meeeee.

Oh, I remember your roof collapsing in the middle of the day
I'm the one who makes you laugh, you know it so don't deny
And I know your favorite horses and you tell me 'bout your schemes
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with meeeee

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with DT?
You belong with me.

I knew most of it wouldn't be understood here Kanye Bigs.

The TS song itself - without tweaking the lyrics - is pretty damn funny on its own.

I did mess up one part and forgot to change short skirts to tutus.

Kurt Hoover has better hair and is far more doable.
