Handicapping/With or without music?
 
Im getting ready to pop some AUDIOSLAVE in the laptop while looking over the Toga card for today to see if the Late 4 is playable. I think my handicapping and senses are sharper while listening to some music. Anyone else do this this?

NO WAY, and sometimes I have to fight the other noises in my house...the dog, my 22 yr. stepson playing his video games, my wife calling me from downstairs. Wonder I have only 50 winners "on top" for the meet!

peace and quiet. my favorite part of horse racing is picking the form up the day before and just glancing thru that evening. then, on race day, getting up early and sitting down with a big ole breakfast and the form. peace and quiet. i need to purchase some patio furniture so i can do this on my patio during the spring, summer and fall months.

when i'm concentrating on something, nothing else exists...so it wouldn't matter if i was at a live concert!

With, always with. Doesn't help a lick. Drive By Truckers are a particular favorite of mine.

Lovemaking with (music), capping without. :D

Although maybe I should try it.....

I can't listen to music with words, but jazz or classical will work- not that I really listen to that very much.

my lovemaking would drown out Judas Priest
I can't imagine the noise if another person were involved
Kevin, I'd try a cassette of Tony Robbins
or the sensational Yanni

Usually.Never heard of Audioslave
I do a lot of Dylan when capping.
Rickie Lee Jones has been very hot this toga meet.
Her new double lp is pretty sweet.

i capped todays toga to the sweet tunes of 50 Cent and Green Day. DIdnt do **** for me....

Have to be doing something while capping. Watching tv-music-video games I find i need time to let capping sink in, so participating in other activities really helps. Well at least it helps for dirt races, turf races not so good. I agree though gpk most of my capping music is alternative. Creed-lit-etc..

Lovemaking???? What is that. After a couple of kids and marriage I forgotten what love making is. I prob wouldnt be able to find the right hole. Who knows were it would end up. Plus, how can I do that when I have Oct 7th on my mind. When I handicap, I like to have a mountain dew, a pen in my mouth, a pen in my hand and a bowl of cheerios getting soggie. I played baseball in college and I learned to totally tune out everything. Or maybe I can do that because I am married with kids. I think men have the capability of tuning things out.
