Having said that I would encourage every one to listen to him when he discusses the horses but it should end there.
Youre wrong. I have been an ******* to him on here, and just an overal dick head in the past. 2 years ago I introduced myself to him at Belmont and he was very kind to me.

I listen to his show everyday. If I bet, I watch talking horses, period. But as a guide. I dont just blindly bet his horses. I think he is the best, he is exceptional at finding favorites, sometimes very heavy that wont win.

This indeed proves Andy is good as gold.

Nice agenda, Fowler. You couldn't PM Andy and take it up with him personally? Now look...

1. I've hit many bets by following his plays on Talking Horses.

2. He almost always answers my PM questions.

3. My kids approached him in the paddock several weeks ago. Despite his hectic schedule on race days, and not knowing them from Adam, he spoke to them for a bit.

As my mother used to tell me, "Go do something constructive!"

Everybody has cold streaks. Most of us are fortunate enough to have them privately. People like Andy and Doug don't have that luxury.

To the OP- Sorry that your post got blown out of proportion. I got what you were saying.

The best message board posters/handicappers are gonna troll, and you gave them the ammo. But I interpreted your post as positive. I wish you didn't follow up with that low paying NYRA gig post, but I get the positive intent in the original post.

Trollers gonna troll.
