Jerry:
For the same reason reason I toss Pletcher in the Derby and Preakness.
Team TG does very extensive trainer stats and I am quite sure we all take this into consideration when handicapping.

I have been around gambling my whole life I'm approaching 50 know. I had family members run numbers,I new the wise guys growing up as a kid. I use to go to Belmont at 6,7,8 years old watch the ponies with the family see the old folks get excited to cash a ticket and see the smiles on there face to talk trash. In a old school Italian family those memory's really stick As a young boy.

Growing up I use to bet football mostly pro, Pro Football as a sport has lost me can't stand it any more. Moved over to college ball still love it but to wager $110 to get back $100 to much to ask to be profitable.

Went over to the ponies educated myself trying to learn the ropes it has been profitable for me. I will give credit were it is do I learned a lot from this board. Went from keying one horse up and down in exactas to using A/B/C horse how to form tickets etc.

I am not about to give this up no friggen way.
If I loose all of my degenerate self then I become a grouchy old man and talk about the good old days.

To a newbie I love this board read it 5 times a day, however as I mentioned some of the sharpest minds in this game visit here. I feel sometimes some of them get to cute and try not to see the trees from the forest.

Never loose the passion for something you love,yes we all fall of the beam and not to get political there is BS everywhere in this world.
When I download the TG and the family knows that Daddy is betting the ponies today and I am on my porch drinking a scotch smoking a cigar and trying to cash tickets and my wife ask me how are you doing today something about that just seems alright.

I wish everyone here the best
Happy Fathers Day.
