For the fourth time-- it's not just that the horse lost. It's that Len gave out, as a lock, a horse that every public handicapper and everybody with a DRF could have come up with, without sheets.

Keep looking through those ROTW's. When you get one where we said a horse was an overlay at 1-9-- or even that a horse was the right play at odds-on-- let me know. We intentionally pick races where we are pointing out something DIFFERENT than the public sees-- you won't find one. "

This is what it sounds like to me, based on this quote and your previous posts: after the race, the winner was your pick out of the rest of the field, as far as finding a horse to beat the chalk, but you would have needed 10-1 to play this pick to beat that chalk. Have I understood you? Frankly, no offense, but you'd have a little more credibility on all this if you had posted your criticism of the post and analysis of the race prior to it's running rather than jumping on after they hit the wire, especially if you claim it's not about the horse losing. Also, it doesn't sound like you gave that chalk much chance at being beat.

Was that invitation to go over the ROTW's legit, or simply hyperbole, because as a guest here, I think this has already digressed a little too far into Rikki Lake territory, and maybe we should just end it here? In case it was an actual invite, I saw you remind someone here about your successes in the ROTW, and you mentioned the Arkansas Derby, so I'll start with that one:

Overview – Lawyer Ron (paid $3) is the most likely winner, but Steppenwolfer (3rd choice) is the value, and solid for the exotics. Exacta paid $13.80.

Out of all the races that weekend, you chose this one. Not only is this exactly what you accuse Len of doing, giving out plays that every public handicapper has without Thorograph, but you even felt so good about the $13 exacta that you wanted to remind someone about it.

However, in the Honeymoon ROTW at Hollywood, you delivered the promise which you made earlier by playing AGAINST the public. You played against the 2 favorites (who ran 1-2) and your most likely winner was up the track.


Don't get me wrong on this, I'm not trying to beat you up for a bunch of bad picks, or poor results, I just find it odd that someone with this kind of record would stick his neck out on a post lambasting someone else for not cashing a race. Hope you're enjoying The Boss, and maybe you can address some of this when you get back on Monday.
