By the way Chucky, for the record, I don't think you are stupid.

I think you are full of yourself and overvalue your own opinion.

The attitude that people who work in the industry have a better and smarter opinion than those that don't is old and tiring.


Oh yeah, and nice hat!!!

Amen. Not speaking of Chuck here but overall, I think this is totally true. This is not to say that the majority of the time, the people who work in the industry don't actually have more insight. It would be silly to suggest that they don't. But their positions don't make it as automatic that they are smarter or more knowledgeable about every situation than us everyday people.

Lets face it...


there isn't a person on this site that would be a strong candidate for president of NAMBLA.

Edit: I mean MENSA. I'm sure there are a few people with under 100 posts that could put on a strong campaign for the NAMBLA nomination.

I think you'd be surprised... (about the MENSA part of course, I don't want to think about the NABLA freudian slip on your part)

LOL Joey would qualify for MENSA.

In all seriousness, he would! Man's got an IQ off the charts!

it may be old and tiring, but in general its true. take any occupation, on average people working in the industry with first hand experience will tend to be better informed and more able to make a reasonable judgement. its clearly the case in this example.

That reminds me of one of my favorite lines from a great TV show called Firefly.

As the protagonist of the series is about to square off in a fight against some punk in a bar who is blathering on about the moral superiority and righteousness of their government, he blurts out the memorable line:

"And you sound like you are suffering from an overabundance of education".

That's pretty much how I feel about so-called professionals who think they know best.

By the way, why would anyone even want to join a group like MENSA?

That's nothing more than mental masturbation.

The only thing I want to see from an insider is a winner, something I have never seen on this site. Not even an attempt to give out a winner.

So you deserve to be given winners by the "insiders" who work their butt off trying to find winners??

Nobody owes me anything, but there are so many know it alls on here its sickning. They know everything about horse racing exept how to pick a winner. I think it would give them some credibility if they gave out a horse once and a while.

I am relieved that I didnt make the stupid list. I overvalue my own opinion is an interesting comment. I didnt know it was possible to overvalue ones own opinion. Maybe just those that are full of themselves?

I only pointed out that you are getting your info from the racing media which is not an infallible source and is easily manipulated. My opinion may not be better or smarter than someone who doesnt work in the industry but it surely is far more informed. I try to express the reality of the business and in some ways offer a glimpse inside. You want to call trainers liars and dishonest and my attitude is tiring?

At least admit you have some kind of agenda, especially if you dont bet...
