Beyer Fig from Saturday

:...he thinks he may have actually gotten it right"

This quote of Beyer has been mentioned twice. What is the significance?

DOes Beyer sometimes put out numbers he feels are wrong? Do some numbers come with asterisks if they are not particularly sure? I just dont get the significance of his endorsement, his figs are supposed to be correct according to his system. Yes?

It is NOT a quote from Beyer.....it is a quote from ME.

You might want to be careful with your pronoun agreement in the future, another guy was confused as well. But thanks for clearing that up, makes sense now..

I REALLY appreciate the grammar lessen. I mean, who knew that on a horse racing message board I could learn so many diverse things, and from someone as giving as yourself. Lord knows your contributions here are vast and widely felt. Whereas some people come to a room like this and only usurp the knowledge spread by others, you just keep giving and giving, teaching and teaching, and I for one am grateful for this opportunity to learn from you. I only hope that one day I will be able to return your gift of knowledge with some small crumb from my rucksack of life.

I subsequently brought this up and was not confused at all. Andy (Blackthroatedwind) Serling said that Beyer (Andy Beyer) felt that he got the number right. So, don't worry, I was not confused, your pronoun agreement was satisfactory.

just when you think things have reached bottom, we're now being lectured on grammar and spelling. I'm in big trouble if this trend takes off.
