Randem thoughts on Haskell

[relgan1]

Agree with the writer who said having a crop might have allowed Prat to go left-handed.

How bad was NBC coverage not realizing an inquiry until more than 7 minutes passed and essentially at the same moments they made the dq. Truly poor coverage. The angle from behind the horses coming down the stretch is probably the definitive look. Of course they never showed that,

On a more upbeat note, Thorograph getting an audio pop-- a billboard as it\'s called-- coming out of the commercial pre-race was major for your organization. Well done.

Finall ybased on the day your Monmouth handicapper had in the analysis why don\'t you blow off very mediocre to poor Woodbine picks and put Monmouth in Friday- Sunday. You blew off Woodbine today. Do Woodbine Wednesday and Thursday and Monmouth the rest of the week

We have tried doing Mth on non Haskell days, there’s no demand.

Only 21,000 on Haskell Day. Half of them wearing their \"I don\'t bet outfits\" and carrying a drink.

One of the waitresses at the Lady\'s Secret bar told me she walks out of their on Friday nights (5pm post) with 5 bucks in tips.


Good Luck,

A whole $5?? Unbelievable... clearly not the same MP that I grew up going to...sad...

Please, I can’t take it. Spell the word correctly.
RANDOM.  Thanks!

Mickey Charles? Is this Mickey Mantle? 😜

Good Luck,
Joe B

[Mickeycharles]

Yup. Good call!!

[Gary Irish]

You are kidding me. I have followed both boards for many years.

There was never a Mickey Mantle poster, unless it was during the ten years I was off line. I guess that is a rather large window.

Why the switch in names? A switch hitter has more liberty?

And your original point is better remedied by going to the Subject line and typing in your own, don\'t cha know?

[Bet Twice]

I believe the question was whether Mickeycharles was a reference to Mickey Mantle;  Charles being the Mick’s middle name.  The Mick apparently has a bit of OCD, which I can relate to.

[Gary Irish]

Thank You for the clarification.

I have a bit of Mr Hyde in me. He usually comes out at night. He is drawn to horse racing message boards.

[hellersorr]

I feel your pain.

[Bet Twice]

Mr.  Hyde is often more entertaining.  Good to see you posting over here Gary, now if only you would give this product a try.

[Gary Irish]

Kind words, thank you.

Anyone who struggles with alcohol as I do knows the feeling of dread that you get when you awaken knowing you did something last night you probably shouldn\'t have.

Jerry and Jake have put up with my stupid posts so far. I have vowed to try and be non political. This is not the place.

I started with T Graph but struggled with all the pairs. It is a valuable product but I prefer Sheets. To each his own.

I like that there are competing information sources, and you probably do too.

[prist]

Did you ever get a chance to see The Sheets for the Haskell? I\'m assuming you didn\'t since you never called back. May have been for the best because FOLLOWING SEA was the fastest on The Sheets and was Hardoon\'s selection.

I don\'t know much about Hardoon, but it seems like he\'s a sheet purist like Ragozin and Friedman. The apparent sprint profile on FOLLOWING SEA was not much of a factor for Hardoon as he pretty much focused on the numbers and the pattern.

[Gary Irish]

Didn\'t see the sheets for the Haskell.

I am old school in that I want to see a two turn race from a runner who is trying some of the best of his crop for the first time. Or get huge odds on that proposition to win.

I use breeding more than any handicapper I know. There is a reason Mattress Mac didn\'t have to pay off on his $100k bonus offer. It is the same reason Runhappy\'s fee went from $25k to $10k.

The 2021 BH Stallion Register shows his initial crop of 81 foals with 33 runners and just 5 winners for a 0.41 AEI. This is a train wreck when you consider the type of mares he got to 2.17CI.

I reside in Illinois, but have a Missouri view: Show Me.
