Jerry:

As long as the gloves are coming off..

The three horses from the LA Derby have managed to find but 1 winner's circle in 5 months among them, depsite at least 10 subsequent starts. You wanna keep telling me how great these mules are because your figures say so, then let's watch whom we call intellectually dishonest. Last I remember, they payoff at the windows and hand out purse money for what these horses do on the track, not what they do on your sheets.

And speaking of intellectually dishonest, your own shining example of that (among many others) was your Breeders Cup Seminar for 2004. Go back and count the number of times in that seminar you cautioned listeners to weigh in the shipping to Texas and the southern heat as concerns to factor into their wagering, based on your absurd claim that BC horses at Santa Anita the year before suffered from both and ran poorly. Question: was your mug buried so far into your precious sheets that your ignored the fact the the European horses, who travel farther and from cooler climates than anyone else, had their single best showing at a Breeders Cup in 2003 at Santa Anita? So much for heat and travel affecting performance.

None of that pap you spewed would be so sinister but for one thing: YOU CHARGE PEOPLE MONEY FOR THIS DRIVEL! It's bad enough if you dispense such nonsense for free, blatantly ignoring the metaphysical evidence right in front of your face. But when you offered that nonsense up in the 2004 Seminar, when anyone watching the Santa Anita Breeders Cup saw what happened with their own eyes, well that's more than intellectually dishonest. It's borderline larceny. You lose any claim you have to "expertise", and it makes it fair game to challenge your analysis on anything else. Especially to those of us that paid.


And I'll say this when you're in town, out of town, to your face or anywhere else. I should have expected this from someone who didn't know anything about photo finish processing until 2005 (tell me again who it is that needs to "learn something"). And by the way, I worked right next to one of your "trackmen" everyday for years while he compiled your "data". I'll say this, I sure hope you have them now gathering more info, in a much more sophisticated way, than what this guy was sending in to you. If not, it's unconscionable for you to charge money for anything.
