Thorograph numbers being mentioned and listed on TVG for Derby horses. They also have an ad on TVG. I\'m very happy for JB and the guys but do we/are we going to lose an edge as they become more mainstream?

20 years ago both sheets would have a free analysis of the Derby in DRF on Derby Day. Then they realized how valuable the info is regarded & stopped giving their opinions away for free.

Now you couldn\'t pay me to use Rags.

When did you stop doing that, JB? Was that right after you gave out the $2,000 (Thunder Gulch) trifecta with a 3-horse box?

Nothing has changed much from years ago, when I looked
around the track and saw guys with selections torn out
of the paper, and others with $2 tout sheets.
If most players won\'t buy the DRF @ $8, they surely
won\'t spend on TG. We are safe for quite some time, IMO.
(Sorry JB.)

Bob-- because a guy who used to write for your paper took over the DRF and decided they were giving us free advertising. That led to the online seminar.

OK. No names. I get it.
Just thought I\'d throw that one out there for the benefit of your readers who might not go back 20 years with TG.
Props to you and Paul and crew for an excellent seminar.
