The deal fell apart when RHT became emotionally unstable to the point of lunacy.

Instead, I'm going to do a weekly DrugS Handicapping Half Hour of Power Youtube show.

Aiming for three ten minute segments a week. I'm thinking one segment will be sort of a briefer Trips and Traps rip-off where I analyze a few races from the past week from across the country where I like a probable bet back and bet against.

The second segment will be a betting preview of two or three races the upcoming weekend with thoughts and bets. Maybe a big race or two plus a smaller race of interest.

The final segment will be a general handicapping tip type dealio. I put one together this morning to see how long it would take. Took a half an hour to do a 10:30 piece with a lot of cuts and save it.

Obviously now that I got the hang of it a little -- I can get it done faster, but will need to do it better. The forms came back blurry, the RR thistle downs race wasn't a good feed, and Cigar's win streak was not all at the grade 1 level like I mysteriously said for some reason. Got to pick more subtle and valuable topics as well.

Anyway. I'm pretty sure I can get this where I spend less than 2 hours a week on it... and still have high quality and watchable show that probably only 6 people will watch anyway.


Ill watch Dougie. I would not have been able to comment anyway, working on a new capping gig. Its not a longshot, but its not a lock. Id say Im 7-2 in an 8 horse field to get this.

Yea, I actually have been holding my breath since September about it. I thought I was pretty much out till I got an email on Tuesday. It would be cool if your were being sincere, but whatever.... Nice call on El Padrino. The top 2 out of that race are going to be OK. Did Calvin really have to push the button on the 3 that early?

It'd be cool if you didn't turn every thread into a "look at me" thread with your nonsense.

DrugS did a good job. It's okay to acknowledge that without trying to make this all about you.

steve once (long ago) pm'd me explaining why one of the charecter's i loved from espn and bloodhorse wasn't actually as funny to deal with as a content provider vs. my point of view as a comedy consumer.

but rht seems fairly harmless. he's not threatening people. he's not aware of how he comes across in a way that people love. we can all feel so superior.

i think you're missing an opportunity.
