Popeye--

Took down some of your nonsense and will take down more, but when you set me up like this I have to take advantage.

From 1998 on alone some of the highlights have been:

Victory Gallop wins Belmont
Da Hoss wins BC Mile (again)
Distorted Humor sets track records in consecutive starts while winning graded stakes at Kee and CD

The following year, VG wins the Whitney etc. and is champion older horse
Bet Me Best wins the Hutcheson

2001-- Pompei wins a grade 1 in first start after purchase
License Fee wins a mess of graded stakes

2002-- Distorted Humor is leading first crop sire

Yesterday-- Victory Gallop 2yo sells for $525k

But look-- I look forward to the Ragozin office posting the equivalent of the 5 year study found on this site.

Jim, this is how it works-- because the Ragozin office does not have ANY (let alone a comparable) record of success in advising on purchases, they instead sell raw data, cheap, to everyone who will pay $25. This is not an exaggeration-- the trainers and owners you mention order and use the stuff the same way they use DRF pp's, which you can also get from customer service for any horse you are interested in buying. I get abut 2 calls a week from people who say they "are just curious" or "just want to get a sheet on a horse" or "just want the last number" or "can get it from Ragozin".

If the Ragozin office did their horseman business the way I do, restricting the flow of information and charging commissions, they would do zero business-- they don't have the record to justify it. Hard to come up with an accurate ratio since there is an apples/oranges aspect, but they charge maybe 5% of what we do.
