Hey Jim, I just got a call. Somebody died in a car crash on Hallendale Boulevard, and they want to give you a personality transplant.
You know, I was going to let you beat a (relatively) dignified retreat--you had obviously checked (as I did) and found out I was right about what Ragozin charges horsemen. But you just couldn't leave it alone.
As everyone but you was surely smart enough to understand, the flow of information I was referring to involved a horse's last number. That's why I get the calls to "check a number", why Ragozin can charge the small fee he does for the sheet--if it only involved the previous numbers anyone could see by buying a set of either product, or even by looking in our Red Board Room the next day.
Our approach has worked pretty well, I would say. By keeping the info to just our consulting clients (while Ragozin gives his to anyone with $20) we have been able to come up with Victory Gallop, Da Hoss, Distorted Humor, Pompeii, License Fee, and 60 other stake winners, and had Xtra Heat and Magic Weisner (for a combined $350K) turned down by vets (hence the recent dry spell). Ragozin (Friedman) also does commission consulting aside from just selling a sheet to whomever is interested, and they haven't had a serious horse since... when?
Be smart. Let it drop.
