Derby Observations

[texasturfmaster]

1.  TG nailed the trifecta--nice job!
2.  TG heralded the 8 &9 too much, didn\'t
    call the bounce.
3.  I heeded your advice about subtracting 2     points from the 4 (Southern Cal. routes).
    Couldn\'t understand why TG didn\'t see it
    and recommend this one.
4.  With this info, one could hit the super.
5.  Keep up the good work, I\'m on board for       the long haul.

That\'s what you think.

I don\'t recall seeing  the word contender after the 4 in the anaylsis.  Our game is the superfecta.  I was happy with the guidance on the top 3.  If I can\'t pick out the merits of the 4 down at the bottom of the ticket on my own, then I shouldn\'t be playing.  Sounds like we\'re both happy.

My earlier comment was because I thought you were being sarcastic. And let\'s make this clear, I\'m not suggesting one should make adjustments to OUR Southern California numbers.

I didn\'t need to adjust your numbers to play this colt in 3rd and 4th. Three races of 2 1/2 or lower in a row spoke for themselves. Nice job, keep up the good work, and I\'m on board are hardly words of sarcasm. I don\'t waste my time bashing anyone.  The bounce vs the pair-up is the toughest of all calls for someone who is playing young 3 yr olds.  A smart player would never expect you to defend every pick, and moreover will see the race for what it is worth, TREMENDOUS VALUE, and should play it accordingly.  See you next year TGJB.  Until then I\'ll be on the turf.
