Jimbo,
First you wrote
"Some of the seminar and analysis's strongest opinions turned out be very bad. Speightstown being over the top and not fast enough, Sweet Catomine being a great favorite to bet against, and Oiuja Board also being a "bet against"."
Now you write,
"If the race happened again tomorrow, I would bet against Oiuja Board again."
So in this race, correct me if I'm wrong, YOU AGREED with the analysis (yes I know you didn't buy it -- but you came to the same conclusion) and you BET AGAINST Ouija Board. You independently came to the same conclusion as TGJB, how can you now criticize TGJB for trying to beat her and get a price? If you have gripes with the analysis, it CAN'T BE with this race, since you yourself BET AGAINST Ouija Board just like TGJB! Jerry made a good call here, but sometimes you lose. I don't mind losing to 4/5 shots!
Then you write,
"But the "bottom line" for T-Graph and Jerry is that Saturday was a losing day."
Now this may be true, but it has NOTHING to do with what the analysis said about Ouija Board, which you AGREED with and bet accordingly.
Interestingly enough, I keyed Wonder Again on top once I saw the turf was yielding (just like I threw out both Soaring Softly and Special Ring) and for my incredible judgement I collected nothing.
