For a variety of reasons I was unable to take advantage of the TG Xmas present until the 12/30-31 Calder cards, for which I also downloaded the TG analysis after doing my own to do a comparison, in an effort to see if I could learn something. Usually, I'm able to get a pretty good idea of someone's approaches to handicapping in a fairly short time, but in this case I was, in a number of races, left scratching my head. I could not understand the thinking behind certain selections/odds restrictions and/or decisions to pass or play certain races. The only thing which seemed clear after two days is that the author of the analysis is a very accomplished handicapper. If only he had been 3/4 length wrong about the last race at Calder, on the last day & last bet of the racing year yesterday, and 17-1 Infinitely Greedy had outfinished his selection, the one you reference. I wasn't unhappy about the $58 late double, but a reverse in the finish would have resulted in a $134 double & one of my best yrs in some time. But all of that is ancient history as the new racing yr begins with, among other contests, The Tropical Park Oaks. I have a feeling I know who Nick & the others at TG like in the race, & offer my best wishes that her performance gets 2003 started the right way.
