I don't have the hatred like most for the TVG guys, I think each of them have some strengths and provide certain strong angles that people can add to their handicapping, but Simon Bray is putrid, and really bad on TV. I know it isn't easy, but there are alot of qualified people, especially in the horse racing industry where someone people only work one meet and then go dick around for 6 months until their next gig starts.
Actually 1.2 is 1/5 in decimal wagering- there is no such thing as .5 in decimal wagering. 1.01 would be the lowest possible- or 1/100. 6/5 would be 2.2 in decimal.

But he's even more of a moron because that's the current offer price and a completely useless number on its own. The current bid price is 50-1. There's absolutely no liquidity on anybody but Goldikova (only $9k matched so far on the market), who is currently 2.34/2.7 (so mid price of 7/5).
