Have it all figured out? naah, if I did, I'd be sitting home with $2.5 mill. Pompous? Hardly. If you didn't get this horse without Papa Jerry's "analysis" (as you implied I did) then you DON"T get it. Shoot, even rudimentary fastest last race fig (which many Beyerites, Bris, TG and Rag user use) pointed to this horse. A cursory glance at the pp's says the class was okay. The yeeeehaaa, from NTRA commercials, is what TG users who got it were yelling. If you took offense, good. But I wasn't gloating.

"I bet my golden opportunities are quite different then yours. If you didn't have the Lemon Drop/VnV exacta, the Early Pioneer/General Challenge exacta, and the Spain win in the BC then YOU don't get it either! How good are you at needlepoint?"

Okay, you bring up a races from years gone by, so what was it specifically that I didn't get? Are you sure I didn't get it? What was LDK's line like or V n'V's, were they slower, faster than others in the race? Whose lines would they compare to today? I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

You know squat about how I played the race.

"Jerry's analysis also pointed this horse out and at the odds with his pattern most sheet users had to have the winner OR exacta somewhere. This is the type of race that illustrates the value of using thorograph. Nice job Jerry and congrats to all that scored with Volponi. What a nice poni he was yesterday."

Maybe Jerry took notes from me ;-)

HP:

I stand by my comment about not getting it. Perhaps I should have said, go back and review introductory material again; study more ROTW reviews and other suggestions, but needlepoint cuts to the chase. Fact of the matter is, if you've been using TG for any length of time.............you know the rest of it. BTW: Talking about class HP, look in the mirror sometime. Some of the stuff you write has "class" written all over it.
