whats really bad is at what one point, he was Calder Race Course's "expert" handicapper and his picks were given out nationally every day.
thats just plain terrible.

and dont give me that crap about him having Barbaro on May 5 as some kind of justification of his handicapping expertise.

I told you guys in November of 2005 that Barbaro would not lose to another horse of his age, be it KY Derby or otherwise.
I posted with proof when I made my KY Derby future wager on him.
And I posted when I made my KY Derby day wager on him.
I was right on spot on that one and made a killing.

And I tell you all of this as someone who recognizes myself as a terrible dirt handicapper.
Im horrible. Nobody on this board or anywhere else should listen to me when it comes to dirt. hell, maybe you should not listen to me at all.
but the point is that I had Barbaro from the day he broke his maiden, to the first stakes win at Laurel, to Calder, to Gulfstream, and yes, even in Churchill on the first Saturday in May.
and it does not make me or Schrupp a genius.
it just makes Barbaro a fast horse.

Damn...nice call in having him in the winter.

I think Matt is pretty good. He has a real affinity for lone speed and i think it gets him in trouble a lot of times.
