analysis product question

[shanahan]

Who will be authoring the KNLD analysis?

[TGJB]

Alan will probably do the Keeneland analysis.

This seems as good a time as any to announce that our own Nick Hripcsak, who did some of the analysis, lost a long battle with cancer last week. Nick worked for Ragozin starting when I was there, and for us the last few years. He was a good guy, and a good handicapper.

My condolences.

Are these the analyses sold, for example, on the racingjason.com site are they something else?

[TGAB]

The \"best bets,\" 2-3 per card, are sold on the racingjason.com. Analysis for entire racecards is sold on this site and over the phone lines which he advertises at 1-900-656-5454.


Nick was very much a purist in terms of his handicapping style.  He believed strongly in sheets theory and handicapped that way. To date he tabbed the longest winner we\'ve ever put up, a $195 horse I forget either at Hawthrone or Keeneland but he didn\'t brag on it. He was a responsible, low key, low maintenance adult who could be stubborn as hell but liked the game and did his job well.  RIP.

I believe that Nick actually had the whole card one day not too long ago...think about how awesome that was...and how we think it should be done everyday.  Sorry for your loss, TG.
