This is completely wrong. Putting up a list of horses with no explanation or reasoning and having no history of picking winners
will get you nailed. An intelligent post with reasons for your picks
will not get you nailed. There are some incredibly great handicappers here. If one of them questions your picks, I would advise having an intelligent conversation with that person and you may learn something. I know I have seen certain people's opinions here and have gone back and reassessed races. They may have seen something in their research that you completely missed. Hanging on to your picks like they are the last morsel of food on earth and snarling like a dog at anybody that disagrees with them,
will get you nailed. Posting your locks before the race is drawn
will get you nailed.
It is like a locker room but you can earn respect by treating others with respect. Ignore the taunts.
Another piece of advice. If you start a thread posting your picks, starting
another thread to taunt others (or pat yourself on the back) because your original thread was correct, is going to open the floodgates.
If you are going to post names or numbers, there is usually a daily thread for the major tracks to post your plays.
