I attended. The beautiful Wynn property in Las Vegas is as nice as it comes. The seminars at the conference were a mixed bag. That is a difficult format for guest panelists to get very specific about the infinite nuances of handicapping..... but I believe there was a sincere desire by most speakers to bring relevent information and experience to the participants. I thought Crist, Dickenson, Davidowitz, Bray, Free and the heavy hitter from Keenland {forgot his name} were good. Imagine a college professor trying to cram a semester into fifteen minutes of dialogue. Some of the lectures were on simultaneously so you had to choose which ones you wanted to attend. As a result i missed a couple of people I wanted to see. {Mark Cramer, Len Friedman } There was a temporary race book set up so you could play on the breaks or if you choose to skip a session without having to leave the area to find a window. The speakers were accesible to anyone who had questions. The two cocktail parties and banquet dinner were also opportunities to pick their brains. I sat next to Lee Tomlinson and chatted with him at length at the dinner. We also had the representatives from the sponsor "Case the Race" at our table. They have an interesting concept of measuring the athletic potential of a young horse. As their product developes.....their numbers could provide a potential handicapping edge for young lightly raced horses. Breeders and pin hookers use them now to evaluate young stock. The general consensus was that this expo was better than the last one....and I understand the last one was better than the one before that. Worth the trip if you enjoy that type of general learning and want to rub shoulders with some of the voices in the game. Sponsers included YouBet, DRF, ExpressBet, Case the Race and some of the tracks.
