Bill Downes Sr. A fixture at Arl and the father of Bill Downes Jr. (caller at Beulah.) Both have qualified for the NTRA Handcapping finals, Jr. twice and having cashed this past year.
Taught me to have patience and wait for the right situation to really fire. Must have learned something from him as 90% of my plays are in pic 3 and 4 bets in the range from $8-$20 total outlay. He also showed me how much training matters in the success of a horse.
Betting a 70-1 shot you only have to be right 1 of 70 times to be even.
A 1-1 shot forces you to be right every other time.
Don't want anyone puffing up but I've learned much from many of the posters on this board. So glad this is finally up and running.
