It is nice that you have picked a few winners in the derby and BC over the last few years, but the implication that it proves your sheets are better than Rags is just plain silly. I don't know how well Friedman has done (and I don't really care), but I can tell you that I have cashed multiple days of wins in the thousands of dollars on the triple crown races and breeder's cup alone using Ragozin Sheets. I am not doing this to brag, as I am sure nobody here cares about my handicapping wins, but to demonstrate that if cashing big wins on the triple crown and BC proves the quality of the sheets, then I will put Rags against yours any day.
These are a few examples that I can remember off the top of my head:
Big Scores
Derby
1998 Real Quiet (Future book bet at 40 to 1, trifecta and superfecta [3 times, one with a $6 ticket])
1994 Go for Gin
Preakness
1992 Pine Bluff/Alydeed
1993 Prairie Bayou/Cherokee Run
Belmont
1993 Colonial Affair/Kissin Kriss (big exacta and trifecta [only paid a few thousand in so cal. because field finished 3rd, but would have paid 18k in New York)
1999 Lemon Drop Kid (also 5 out 6 on pick six that only missed due to betting error, paid 300k)
Breeder's Cup
1994 6 out 7 (twice) on pick 7, which paid $130,000, plus several individual races.
1995 pick 6, which paid $25,000
1997 Skip Away (short price on BC day, but 40 to 1 future book bet), also 5 out of 6 on pick 6.
2000 5 out 6 on small pick 6 ticket, crushed F&M Turf.
Near Misses
1992 Derby - Arazi the best 4 to 5 throwout in Derby history. Unfortunately, only had a few dollars on Lil ET at 46 to 1 (in New York), even though he had the best last race Rag number going into the race.
1998 Breeder's Cup -- 5 out of 6 on pick 6, if Hawksley Hill beats Da Hoss, hit pick 6, along with every other possible bet with HH (this one still gives me nightmares).
1999 Breeder's Cup -- Golden Missle at something like 100 to 1 finished 3rd going very wide. Didn't like the top 2, so no tri (I wish). Had across the board bet, but 3rd place money not enough for big score.
