Jerry,

I have decided to give up directing any criticism at the ROTW. I understand your point in publishing it, you have explained numerous times that you view it ONLY as a teaching tool. I have tried to counter that argument with you by explaining that it is likely that a lot of your customer base are gamblers and would prefer to see some kind of "conclusion" or "result" at the end.

If you look at what you posted on this board about the Futurity, that really could be a "conclusion" type section of the ROTW - If you wanted it to be. You said that the favorites were vulnerable and a contrarian view could be to use Giacomo and protect under the fast horses. I, for one, would find a concluding statement like that at the end of the ROTW, very interesting. Yes, we would still have all the "teaching and learning" aspects of the race, but in the end, we can see how those tidbits of analysis are converted into a gambling opinion. There are probably some on this board who can have views and opinions that are good, but do a poor job of converting that into a gambling strategy.

But Jerry, it is a "free" product, so you put in it whatever you want, as I am sure you will. I am just throwing out a view of what one customer would find interesting.

Thanks for listening.

Jim
