Ctc,

You are absolutely right, this is a tough game!! That is for sure.

As I read this week's ROTW, I would disagree with you that Weigelia is one of the ones that Jerry settled on. He makes a long case about the horse, but then says 5-2/3-1 is about right for the horse. As the horse went off at 4-5, I would doubt that makes him usable at that price. If you followed the ROTW comments, I think that Built Up, as the fastest horse, at 4-1, was "the bet". Unfortunately, he was up the track.

Picking horses three days in advance is of course real difficult. But on the other hand, looking over the entire selection of weekend races and picking one that you really like, should result in better than the long run of "losers" that we have seen in the ROTW.

You have to go back 17 weeks, to the American Oaks on July 3rd, to find a ROTW, where Jerry liked a horse that won, that paid more than 9-5. And I am giving him a big benefit of the doubt on that race, since he "liked" about 5 horses in that race.

That recent record of ROTW's, combined with the miserable Breeders CUp day, doesn't give me (A T-GRaph user), a "warm and fuzzy" feeling about the product.
