I can't resist.
Friedman's Mass Cap post. Of nine horses in the race, six were characterized as 'could be used', 'definitely use', 'heavy use', 'odds play', must be used', and 'only a use' in the exotics. You can see it for yourself. The only play worth having (tri paid $94, tell me how to make money on this mutuel with six horses on your ticket) was the super, which you would have hit only by including a seventh horse, which Friedman had eliminated.
If you can't narrow down a nine horse field to any less than six possibilities, of which at least half figure to be very short prices, at least take pity on your readers and tell them it's not really playable, or to look elsewhere for value. I'll wait for the diehards to tell me how this is useful. I would be embarrassed, but hey, I'm no 'expert' offering 'analysis' (I guess you're going to tell me he's just another guy who happens to post over there). There'll be some kind of excuse. I just hope he leaves it up.
I'm sure all the guys posting over here think this kind of thing is great, because none of them are saying anything bad about it over there. Then again, if you did say anything bad about it, they'd probably take it down. HP
