BC Analysis

[P-Dub]

Let me start by saying I respect the TG product and TGJBs analysis. Anyone expecting JB to pick every race perfectly is an idiot. One of the joys of handicapping, besides cashing tickets, is correctly picking a race winner yourself. JBs analysis is a good reference point, often pointing things out a lesser sheet user may miss. The sprint analysis being one example. True the top pick wasn\'t the winner, but CB was a definite use @ 22-1. Dutch your bet and you would have had a piece of it. At the least you must include on any serial bet. CB + Islington + ATD = $2200. I hate to red board but the only 2 tickets I cashed were that P3 and a smaller bet on CB. And I doubt I would have w/out JBs analysis. ATD wasn\'t mentioned in JBs analysis. But I noticed that a) he was coming off a pair, although quite a bit slower than others and b) he was trained by Mandella who also had ME (who I bet) in the race. The uncoupled entry always catches my eye, so I threw him in with the 1 and 7.

There are many ways to handicap, interpret information, etc... To rely on someone else to do your work and then blame that person for your poor day is ridiculous. I knew someone in High School that copied answers from someone else during an exam and got an F. Then blamed that person for failing. Do your own homework, listen to others for advice, but make your own decisions. I disagreed on some of JBs analysis and made different selections (and missed just as badly). Remember, it only takes 1 really good score to wipe out many bad ones. Thanks JB, CB made my day..

P-DUB;


Congratulations. I think we all need to pay attention in the future to the improving 3yo sprinter in the fall, especially when they are fresh and off an impressive performance rating as was CB. If anything, the value plus the pattern made him an interesting contender.



Good Luck,
