I use the Rags and have to admit that I concur with some of the above-mentioned criticism. I see no point in giving analysis that includes playing 80% of the horses at least somewhere in exotics, which Friedman does.
Admittedly I had a very tough time narrowing this field down, but ended up with Perfect Drift and Saarland as my top choices. I think I would respect the "expert's" opinions on these big races a bit more if they just said to hit the ALL button for 3rd and 4th. At least then I'd know they were as lost as I was. Sure, I coulda had the exacta if it came War Emblem-Perfect Drift, but I wouldn't have the gall to say that I "liked" the winner.
It's just like the 1996 Derby....Editor's Note and Grindstone were a coupled entry and I bet em because of Editor's Note. I didn't like Grindstone even a little bit, but he got the money and thus I did too. I don't go around bragging that I had the winner, beacuse I didn't.
