Title: Randy Moss on Student Council and TG
Post by: bobphilo on August 24, 2007, 03:48:31 PM

Interesting article by Randy Moss in which, despite his close association with the Beyers, he admits that sheet-type figures, including TG, were more useful in pointing out Student Council in the Pac Classic.

IMO Randy is a very knowledgeable figure maker. From my limited experience he seems like a hell of a nice guy too. Not everyone is honest enough to toss the competition (TG) a well deserved plug.

The really hilarious column was Watchmaker\'s in Wednesday\'s DRF. After giving me credit in the first paragraph, and saying (correctly) that those who use our data must have killed the race, he then goes on to explain that there really is no explanation for SC\'s win. \"Perhaps the best way to rationalize Student Council\'s upset is to accept there is no real way to rationalize it\".

Mike-- if superficial analysis of the past performances was all you needed to buy and manage horses, they wouldn\'t hire me. And serious handicappers wouldn\'t pay $25 per track for our data.

In Mike\'s defense, he really shouldn\'t bet Poly, especially at Smell Mar.

Congrats to those that hit the race and I guess thats all that matters, but to those that think it was a logical race with a logical winner, just point out the next time the logic points to Student Council again. It will be awhile and the next win will in all likelihood be even longer. What do you do with him? Obviously keep him on Poly, maybe grass.
