Didn\'t get on plane from SoCal.
If this affected anybody\'s handicapping of the Classic, then you are on the wrong board......

Vito is distraught.
Speaking of whom, I don\'t get it. There\'s a guy who a) calls me every once in a while and is nice as could be, b) says he doesn\'t know enough about figures to determine whether one is right, and c) nevertheless is 100% sure Ragozin\'s are always right, and furious when someone explains why this is not true. AND quotes me as taking positions I haven\'t taken (like saying a certain 2yo is a lock).
I have a set of their BC sheets, and I have to say I wouldn\'t even know where to begin-- some of their stuff is simply nuts, has no relation to reality. Having said that, in Vito\'s post on their board about bad favorites he landed on some of the same ones I did in the seminar (which should be up in 2-3 hours). Go figure.
Of all the guys on their board, he is the one I feel the most sympathy towards.
His posts read like a generally nice guy. But the reverence he gives to the figures is unbelievable. Complete blind faith, without question. Watches a race and says it looked good, but until Len comes back to confirm, he isn\'t sure.
An absolute kool-aid drinker, having spilled it all over himself and completely saturated with it.
Kind of the equivalent of Miff on our board........
He called a little while ago, he is not happy with you. Funny thing is you two would get along.

Next time he calls, tell him there\'s an \"h\" in \"pirana,\" and ask him how come Covello isn\'t one, but the rest of us are.
Fever my ass. So now they slide down and one of the legit contenders, Flat Out, is now on the rail.
Smooth one Bullet Bob.
Moose,
Is this a degenerate horse racing board or remedial spelling class?
Come on, the guy obviously knows good people when he sees them...lol
Good luck to everyone this weekend. I am going to get there Thursday morning and be at the races on Thursday afternoon so will let everyone know if there\'s anything obvious track bias wise (unlikely that there wuld be anything people couldn\'t see on tv but who knows). Will also try to get to the backside on Friday morning for trainig and will pass along thoughts if I do.

Even reprobates are entitled to linguistic precision when being insulted.

Kind of emulating your hero, D Wayne, with his 5 filly Gene Klein entry in the
BC Juvie Fillies way back when...
Gonna see him tomorrow morning....He knows a few of them. \"Dead Fit\" is an understatement.....wink!
I will be there and just have to report back to the \"Bee\" on the quality of talent in your harem ,,,I mean barn.
Richiebee...I am actually doing this contest thing and know which horses to avoid..thanks to Jerry\'s seminar....wink wink...
