A person could have done pretty good just playing Chad Brown horses. I think that has figured into Don's play. Either that or he did a Vulcan mind meld with the legendary lady from Colorado. Of course a person could have done well just playing the French riders, Pratt in particular, and Geroux is no slouch either. Still can't quite believe Cyberknife, but sometimes you have to look beyond the hype that some horses get. Jack Christopher a very nice horse, but you have to be a little skeptical until they actually do what they are being touted to do.

I'm no double 0 seven and if I was, I probably couldn't keep up with you. You've got more moves than M.C. Hammer.

Yes, I was happy to see my approach to Race 7 worked out. Rarely do I pick the right race to play but this year I've been pretty lucky. I missed out on Cyberknife too and even though he was a Brad Cox horse (one of my key deciders in evaluating) Chad Brown (another key decider for me) seemed right with a 109 speed figure and being undefeated . . . but ya never know in this sport. My play for Race 7 came down to Joel Rosario, one of the hottest jockeys on the planet right now, especially on the turf.

The more I studied the PPs, the less I liked any horse. Jockeys and trainers enter in to my race analysis but usually take on a very minor role depending on the conditions.

Sure woulda liked it to be real money, it woulda put a much bigger smile on my face. And who doesn't love Chad Brown but h had nothing to do with Race 7, unless Howard Brown is related?

I must have gotten that race confused with another one. I noticed in one race that Rosario won that he was riding for Chad and that he was 3 for 3 for Chad. I thought that it was that race that you won, but must not have been. Whatever, I admire you exacta players and often I'm tempted to play exactas, but must admit that I don't do that Texas Holdem style of play well where you go "all in" on one horse over three or four others. Doesn't make sense that a person could play Tris better than exactas, but I seem to do just that. I guess you have to play to whatever your strength seems to be.
