MO, when it comes to observations, there is no one better at them than a handicapper. The problem is gamblers are not very good at observations and there's the rub.

Its not my delivery that is the problem. I'm throwing it over the plate, but there's too much velocity and movement for many of the batters in this park to even see the pill. let alone make contact.

I'm sure Plech is a nice guy. I'm sure he wouldn't intentionally club a baby seal or win knowing his horse had to die. I honestly believe that losing the horses bothers him. In his comments from the die off, you can read between the lines and understand he was struggling with experimenting on them. I'm also certain he ingratiates himself easily. But, you're not saying a nice guy can't be as money motivated and self interested as the next check kiter, bank robber or axe murderer are you?

MO, a fair percentage of the posters here are pari mutual fodder. They don't have any significance other than adding to the pools. Among them you'll find trainer bettors and those type cash often enough on Plech that they consider challenging him blasphemy. Then there's the group of guys that include you. Folks without ego that are civil to all. I'm not in your league there, but if you note I only let those have it that are rude and have the truth coming to them on ignorance.

But MO its within Your power. If you shake hands with Plech now and then ask him. Break into it with psychology. Tell him you just read an interesting article on Allday and that you understand he works for Plech, then slide into asking when Allday first began treating horses for him.

You'll find its right at the time I've indicated.

I'll drop the topic for the time being. Those that can contribute now understand how. We'll pick it up again when there's another 'development".
