First of all, thanks for the free week of data. I really enjoy the analysis to supplement other handicapping. After purchasing Gulfstream today, I had one thought. It would be a nice edition to the analysis with recommended pick 3/4 plays. I realize that one could just use the horses that are recommended in each race.  However, many times horizontal plays dictate different horses. Just some constructive feedback for an already great tool.

I think this is a great suggestion. I play primarily horizontal wagers, so any help/suggestions in regards to ticket structure or horses to use/toss would be beneficial. I would even be willing to pay extra for this feature.

Guy\'s,

I think you\'re missing the boat. The analysis usually give you 3 horses in a box scenario, sometimes it may only suggest a 2 horse box or a single win play as the best horse.

If you play out the suggested horses cave man style you sometimes grab a monster pick 3 or 4. If you use your A,B,C\'s? I play 80% plus horizontally and depend on the analysis to provide the missing link at times. It is a strictly value related opinion; if you need to cash 3-4 times a day it may not be for you but if you are looking for a more than occasional home run it\'s an awesome tool.

I play at the Albany tele theater live more than i care to for the simple reason I get t-graph sheets complementary and the analysis for NY, FLA and Cali comp as well.

This board, the analysis, triple crown, big day or Spa seminars is not designed as a tout sheet to give you winners, OH it occasionally does! It\'s designed for the serious players daily or occasionally who want the intellectual challenge of finding the more and more rare uncommon denominator!!!!

Frank D,

There are other benefits to the board as well.

Big shoutout to the board member that sent me a NYRA calendar as it was in my mailbox when I checked it today.  I already have it hanging on the wall with Honor Code\'s Met Mile as the January photo.  Thanks so much!!  

And as I posted at the time, a board member emailed me BC tickets he didn\'t use and my sister was able to see the Am Pharoah Classic!!  

Quite the perks although I\'ve made my last attempt at posting a turf winner for some time now.

I\'m well aware of the board and not new to reading sheets. Had mostly used Rags in the past and dipped into this pool occasionally. I\'ve just started playing regularly again after a few year hiatus.

After looking at many different data sets over the years I\'ve concluded that Thorograph is the best data on the market. Having said that I work extremely long hours and sometimes just want someone to do the handicapping for me. Exactly why I am a prime customer for \"analysis.\"

I realize many people use it as supplemental tool. I didn\'t start following it or consider using it as a \"tout\" service. Nobody would pay 25 bucks for things easily gleaned from the Form in a once over.

My post as originally stated was a mere suggestion and something I would be willing to pay over and over for. Whether or not Jerry agrees is certainly up to him but I can\'t imagine he minds hearing honestfeedback from a customer

re: your picks in the 1st race GP Sat. (a turf race) several points.

a. I thought both of your picks ran well enough to win a race like that

b. Hopefully not your fault the Tapit filly was bet down from 12/1 to 2/1

c. My guess is that the Palonka City filly will be able to add another stakes winner to her beaten by list because the Clement $1.5M trainee is one to watch and a bit unlucky to lose the Sat race.

As TGJB likes to say it is all about pcts, you were not wrong, nice choices but anything can happen in any one particular race as I\'m sure you know.

For the record, when I do the analysis for big days I sometimes suggest multi race plays, and I\'ve brought it up with our guys before.
