I'm sitting here watching the "Starting Gate" program on cable television, comfortable in my recliner just starting my day. Like a few others my day starts late and ends early.

I see and hear the TVG announcers extolling the virtues of Thorograph, public handicapper extraordinaire Jerry Brown and his $50 multimedia BC package. I was a little stunned. My head was already swimming with thoughts and excitement about the Fri & Sat races. But the key idea revolved around when I first became a TG customer, long ago, believing I would be privy to info the crowd did not have and therefore at an advantage. Somehow I became linked to an even earlier time and strange words ran through my mind...

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’

Complicate that with the eloquent analysis of a stout young man who made himself deservedly successful and a celebrity analyzing the facts and writing powerfully persuasive recommendations in several markets and I'm left with no where to go but Kenny Mayne whose most noteworthy comment about this BC is that he has never seen a penis bigger than California Chrome's.

The board was so quiet last night I thought maybe there were technical problems but the World Series game filled in very well. In the end I'm left wondering how much the market will be moved by the TG Breeders Cup Package and social media passing around the thoughts of experts and insiders.

Fortunately, this is horse racing and anything can and does happen (sorta). i.e. K. Fallon on a Jerry Hollendorfer maiden @ 47/1 Wednesday, So I am optimistic that all the secrets are not out of the bag. We can hope to see some jump ups and winners that slid unexpected past the whale wallets will reward the simple player/fans.

Certainly the hopes of the South American Continent on a you gotta be kidding me Chilean horse are naive, right Kenny! Invasor!

I'll try to beat GoldenCents (twice), I'll try to beat Euros (once), I'll try to beat NY horses (every race). I'll play Baffert and press until he wins one. Since it is a World Championship I'll play a Japanese horse. I'll play against Gary Stevens (I'm a fan of his but isn't it time for a second career?) My best bet L'Amour de Ma Vie in the Distaff (using the why is this horse in this race? angle)
