I did look at the pick six thread and congratulate the poster that found all six, even if monopoly money was the currency of choice. Calling the handicapping brilliant would seem a stretch. To wit: 8-5 favorite in a kill, 9-5 favorite in a kill, 7-5 free square, even money walkover and an outcross favorite were five of the legs. The other leg was a razor sharp filly in good hands that has moved way up since going green, figured a perfect trip and was dropping substantially in class. BBB

Your agenda? That has to beg the question " What is your agenda? " as there is no other agenda for a horseplayer other than to win. Thus, since you seem to not want to do that then it can only be discerned that you aren't a horseplayer. No problem. It's good to clear that up.
You do seem to be constantly auditioning for a public handicapping job. That makes sense. All too many public handicappers also don't bet, or understand how to, which is why they continually lead the public astray ( as you attempt to do ).
As for the Pick-6, once again you completely miss the point, and in the usual way. My point was he didn't handicap brilliantly....but he won. Why did he win? Because he played brilliantly. The proof is in the pudding.
As for condescendingly referring to his winning " monopoly money ", the man who spends hours handicapping cards and then only respects his opinion enough to wager $14 should be careful about throwing stones.
