HP,

I was at that Tourney in CT several years ago
and asked him if he ever heard of Henry Kuck & his ratings, he looked at me like I was
speaking another language. From many of the articles I've read, he seems to be Beyer-centric. Think about it, if he even hints that there are other figures that are superior to Beyer's, he's openly admiting that he is not providing the best information
he could for the 5.00 price of the form.


Given Beyer's methodology, and the more often than not bizarre figures he awards to horses,
he's got to realize something is amiss. Did you ever notice how often the Beyer figures
actually change from race to race; and sometimes in a very big way ? He's got to protect himself and talking specifically about figures other than Beyer's is not in his best interest, regardless of whether
he is actually reporting the facts as they appear.

An incidentally, I do not beleive that Harlans Holiday is significantly slower than
War Emblem, Buddah, or MD; that is obsurd.
If the Derby odds were based on the Beyer figures, I'd gladly take 8-1 on HH.

Nunzio
