I expect from the number of posts you make that you are a very good handicaper and maybe not a super great handicapper....
...now does that make you a fraud? Maybe the goo goo's can answer that, but why should they?

I just posted a response on the "LITF" thread which is also appropriate here. I'll reprint it now ...
"I've posted many times that I am not a 'handicapper' ... I haven't placed a serious bet on a horse since 1967. I don't have the time that's required to follow day-to-day racing to the extent that's needed in order to be a successful bettor ... and I know it ... that's why I don't bet.
But I do have the time to watch and analyze G1 dirt racing ... which is what I've been doing since 1958 ... and I'm knowledgable enough to recognize when a horse doesn't finish his races with conviction against weak fields ... and is thus very vulnerable against strong fields.
Lost In The Fog is not himself a fraud ... he's just a horse ... it's the over-the-top over-evaluation he was given by naïve goo-goos that was ... and is ... fraudulent."
I think that should address your concerns.
