I agree that what you guys are doing in the paddock is better than any other and trust me, I sit and watch about 5simulcast feeds a day.
I'm sure that BTW will be as enthusiastic about $15n2LNYbreds in Feb if there's a betting angle to exploit!

Thanks.

You really think Michael thinks that? I honestly haven't talked to him in a few years but we used to get along well.

It just doesn't make sense to me. I am paid by NYRA to give information to their fans. Of course everyone doesn't like me, but the next best thing to being loved is being hated, so I wonder why Michael would consider me doing the show any kind of error. But, who the hell knows....or even really cares. To each his or her own.

I have no idea what WIZ thinks but I can think of no other major changes that he could be aware of from his basement bunker. It's not like he's at the track as he's doing the blog so what errors would or could he be aware of?
just a guess, the ways of the WIZARD are inscrutable...

I rather hear Andy's comments on NY racing !

Agree or disagree with Andy, he and Jason do a very good job.

Jay. I have a friend at the OTB that lives and dies with the wizards plays. Prints them out every day and brings them with him. Never buys a form and not real sure he even knows how to read one. But he admittedly says he is a gambler and not a handicapper.

It's way better than being called "The Douche Bag"...... Predator's Pick's has a nice ring to it.

Yeah...too scary. The sissy wouldn't work either. Now, if you passed yourself off as some hot ass chick and maybe post a picture on your tip sheet home page (Use Thebby's picture, she won't mind) and called yourself The Hussy...I think that idea has some merit. Just don't forget my royalties.

Forgetting about everything else, the Wizard has built his following by having a pretty good opinion. His sheet has been around for over 20 years now and he has built up a strong following. He's not a charlatan.
