Won\'t be the Champagne, I\'m having trouble finding one that is interesting from a TG discussion point of view. I\'m going to look at the Sunday races after they draw them.

Open isn\'t the point. ROTW is a teaching tool, and I pick them because there are points to make about things to look at on TG that are different than the public perception-- weight, ground, patterns, etc. The ideal situation is when we can point out that a horse that looks good to the public does not to us-- my guess is that if you made a list of all those short priced horses we said were big underlays or bet-againsts, they would come back with an ROI of less than a buck for every $2 bet.

Leroy notwithstanding.

The problem is this-- a few months ago, Thoroughbred Daily News picked up ROTW, which gives us a much wider distribution, reaching lots of people who previously knew nothing about TG. The bad news is that I am now limited to 700 words, and can\'t be too technical for fear of talking over newcomers heads.

TGJB---


How about the WinStar at Keenland on Sunday? If not, the Spinster looks competitive.


Good Luck,

Dude, I don\'t know if that is the correct way to ask. Anything that is free is extra in my opinion. I AM trying to learn about these and appreciate that the main person at Thoro-graph takes out the time to do something like that. You don\'t see Ragozin doing that and Thorograph will eventually gain a customer because of this gratitude.
