Any chance Bill will?

Bill won\'t be going to that one. He may go out for the one at Bally\'s in April, and will be doing a world tour over the summer and fall. If you are on our e-mail list and in a region where one of the contests is, you should be notified. If you want to reach Bill, it\'s williampspillane@yahoo.com.

Tnks.  I met Bill at last Dec\'s contest @ Keeneland.  Really enjoyed playing the races with him Sunday after the contest.

  In another thread someone talked about trusting in your read of the sheets and that it\'s almost better to not have any other handicapping knowledge.  That\'s the thing that impressed me the most about Bill.  He trusted his read on the sheets, really seemed to use other factors only as a way to explain why particular horses were going off at the odds they were (i.e., he evaluated what everyone else was looking at and how that was reflected on the tote) and then bet his opinion if the odds were right.

He\'s a good guy to have on your team.  Great spokesman.
