Great Piece: Equine Athlete Psychology

[Sightseek]

I want this guy to analyze my horse, he's just not normal.

[Calzone Lord]

He's looking at a past performance and tape -- and his conclusions are basically opinions based on observations and the way he writes them out makes him look like a BS artist.

Horse racing video games have been addressing this subject for a great many years now...

They look like this: (lower half of screen)

Union Rags, I'll Have Another, Bodemeister and El Padrino

Very interesting. He seems a good and accurate detail observer of horse behavior. His comments match what some of the trainers have said.

Sounds pretty hogwashy to me.

It is and it isn't.

Knowing all the traits, intangibles, and habits of a race horse is an edge and can be accomplished with a little work when it's worth all the effort ... but this is dressing it up (dare I say gaying it up) way too much.

Read what his profile of Trinninberg says.

It's very obviously written by someone who knows the horse is a sprinter and has no hope of getting 10F Saturday.

His psychology on the horse is moronic.

What do you make of Creative Cause?

I like him on style, but I didn't like how he seemed to get "hung-up" in his last race.
