But that wouldn't have been useful in his habit of trying to pigeonholing me as a figure player. Because the figure horse romped in that race.

What frustrates me most about you, and, in a somewhat similar sense, BTW, is that you're a superior race watcher who is nonetheless influenced by numbers.

This influence might not be as significant as it would be for someone without your 'other' skills but it's there nonetheless. Anybody can make figures, and some even excel at it, kudos to them for it, but your other skills are what distinguishes you from them. I'd bet that you could do equally as well just watching races and keeping good notes. Can't say that about too many others here.

I would like your skillset more if you would place a little more emphasis on unknown first time starters.

i like hearing how others come to a conclusion-anything that helps me in looking at races is great imo.
