The best handicapper? Thats debatable. The best at 3YO's? I'm competent. Jerkens would ride me. This is about the jockey.

Richie if hes a family member, we can drop it, hes a .09% rider with serious weight, a twenty buck mutual is break even for this guy. He's changed his style a little lately, hes trying to run and gun, but its like a big two year old trying to run quick, hes all over the place.
Other than his good day yesterday (Weight)he won on two favorites in the last week getting huge (weight). If you're gonna get 15-1 on a horse with a shot, o.k. but you can't seriously believe this guy has the type of talent you require from a high percentage bug rider.
