I want the win pool. (922 Views)

TGJB,

I want to interview for the job of writing a win pool "column" on your ROTW.
I would love to have 5 minutes of your time, to propose to you a next step in
a wonderful relationship, maybe for the game. I dream big. I will testify to the efficacy of your firm, anytime, anywhere and be sincere, wordy or brief, in a suit or jeans.

What I would love most to do, in this my 63rd year, is qualify for a win pool consulting paragraph that could either go on the ROTW or another place of our choosing. I have watched with intent, every race in New York for the last 20 years, so many three times that it would stupid. Am I'm not, just right brained.
I begged a guy in Ceasar's Tahoe to let me pay for a numnber - I demo'd it, and it was stunning, but he was nuts and insisted that it wasn't perfect, even though I offered to fund the project. I lost my temper and started raging at him in the Racebook, and around some nice people, so I banished myself from that book, until I was invited back, by my favorite "old style player.

I promise to be completely candid in any dialogue, here or privately. You can interview me here. My goal would be to contribute to win pool DNA, so that some of us who were dedicated to "winning" at any cost, share. I have a million true stories among which are how many times I bet Pompei and why, that bay that won the Sixty Sails. Starting with TG, after 20 years of paying attention with intention and limited, or at least in my mind, option. So, it was intense. I have children (7), step, bio and adopted, all of whom would testify as to life with Dad as he plays horses. Hasn't been easy, but this is plenty good enough, if it never gets better than it feels right now.

Jennifer Lewis really spoke for me on Oprah's show. I considered that ironic as I had email blitzed Oprah, (only one of its kind, a me) when she treated the same subject with obvious ignorance a few years ago, when I lived on Tahoe's west shore. December when its not so busy,

how about that for worst case, you agree to give me 5 minutes on the phone, during which I can state why you should talk to me longer. My email is my name hyphenated at yahoo.

Someone has to uphold win players, it should be in the breed, the element at least. Since the Pacific Class I have known I should hurry and get in on this number and it makes the rest of my life make sense,

Just in the name of fun, and I mean exactly that, I would love if my life ended with me touching with your firm for 5 minutes a week, and for one of them, you wanted to listen. I told the race book manager in Harrah's Tahoe, Steve Schoor, that he really shouldn't take Lemon Drop Kid in the Belmont and I loved the feeling of contribution. He liked me, but he didn't believe that; he didn't believe there could be REASON behind that, and that hurt my feelings.

Lastly, I don't want to be an ass here, but I am in a very remote location, and I don't think anyone here knows I play everyday, although they wonder. If they find out here, so be it, I just wouldn't choose to put it in their face, but they could take it by now, so that is safe. Soooo, tell me how to act here, five minutes won't hurt, you have to have 5 minutes for someone that has stayed the win pool and can prove it to your satisfaction.

I think I have a great life for a book, I want to make sure the finish is as it should be. I exercise, not for my health but to stay in the game. Well, it's the same thing. Here's exactly what I mean; I would think it was very cool, if in 20 months, I had won a million dollars with this tool, and we had a book, maybe a movie. ok, tell me how to contribute other than buy $200 a day. I am in that phase that says thank god. OK, very last thing, before I start telling the whole truth, I did bet Shakespeare to win, but I was embarrassed to say that - I also did lose the same wager on Red Zipper just as I posted. In fact, I used that win bet to cement a relationship with a pace player that I think can make some good noise. But that's the only fudge and I told him I was embarrassed to say that, so I could get a witness.

I apologize for this message if you read this far, but if you did, at least I must sound sincere? Room still for delusional, etc., and I do have papers. Most can't prove they are sane, on paper. Some guys go to school,and so go crazy. When you have time. It's a book. fun
