Boy, there’s a lot to work with here.
1. You have never discussed our product with anyone at the track. You won’t find a living human who believes that one.
2. We sell okay at Gulfstream (so you’ve definitely seen someone using it—and you know Bill Goldsmith), less so at Calder, which couldn’t have anything to do with you and Nebel telling people we don’t use live ground, could it? By the way, Suffolk Racing Forum, Albany Teletheater, Connecticut OTB, Monmouth, and Meadowlands all buy our product to give as comps to big bettors.
3. Among our trackmen are the DRF’s Dave Litfin and five Equibase trackmen. Most watch the races live, all watch tapes—as do the Ragozin trackmen. There was (and I believe still is) one Ragozin trackman who does 5 tracks daily from his living room via satellite dish. He hand times races, same as ours do.
4. You’re the same guy who parsed the truth about your mentor Charlie Nebel—splitting hairs about which track he was barred from (for being dishonest), to make it appear it never happened. You really want to accuse us of half truths? Nebel’s still barred at Calder—that’s why you haven’t seen him there, right? Wonder why you didn’t mention that.
5. Our Florida trackman watches most of the races live, and all of them on both pan and head-on tapes. You weren’t parsing the truth to make it appear he was doing a bad job, were you?
6. Ragozin outsells us on weekends at Calder, we’ve been outselling him slightly during the week. Overall they outsell us, but by roughly 10 sets a week, or 2 a day. Which doesn’t matter, except in judging your credibility.
