I certainly don't want to be a hater, but speaking of handicapping shows, what is the point of this one?
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...dicapping-show Nothing against these guys, but if you're going to have a show, could you at least put more than 2 minutes of preparation into it and offer up some kind of insight that isn't painfully obvious if you glanced at the PPs yourself for 30 seconds?

The new software is a lot easier.
I did another piece on Tuesday. Same old way. The focus of this is on stretch running horses who were moved early into hot paces. I went with Secretariat, Spectacular Bid, Invasor, and Point Given as examples. Very basic stuff. Might as well as use examples of very famous top horses old and new...even though this type of trip is a little more detrimental to the chances of cheaper class off-the-pace horses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV-e9...bv4Q-Aq3q1QM2D Youtube is slow for uploading. It took more time to upload than to actually do the video ... and I even changed it to an inferior video quality so it would upload faster.

I watched the whole thing and liked it a lot. Great job!
 Can I make one little suggestion (and no not the same one although I still think we should see you)?

Times up!
 I'd imagine I can say this without worry about huwting your widdwe feewings... I liked it a LOT. I like you voice, your expressiveness (is that a word?), that you don't sound like you're talking down to anyone, the information, the clips you used, everything BUT BUT BUT BUT you need to try to stop saying ummm and uh so much. Watch one minute, any minute, and count how many times you do this. (I haven't and won't. I'm not judging you here. I'm only trying to help) and I think you'll see what I'm saying. That aside, Mr. Eye Candy, it's really really good.

Great job Doug. I'd definitely watch and "youtube subscribe" to your channel.
I did have a couple of questions: 1) Do you find the presence of a speed duel to be reliably predictable before the race? 2) When you say efficiency in your analysis, do you mean from a Brohamer percent energy usage point of view, saving ground in the run, both, or neither? I think your analysis has some real value and I'm just trying to see how I would use it in my own approach to the race, before it is run of course. Again, awesome idea and great format. I love how you showed all the data you were referring to and formatted it for easy viewing, along with the run itself since I am not much of a trip handicapper on my own. Joe
