ATR Guest Handicapper Today

Thanks for the feedback. The name escaped me at the time because I didn't have the past performances for Monmouth in front of me.

I thought the horse was interesting to mention as Saratoga was running a turf stake yesterday named for his dam and he is making his turf debut today. That horse is Golden Jason in the 11th race.

In any future visits I'll try and be more prepared to maintain some personal credibility.

Jay you do a fine job, you give DT'ERS more winners than that guy can ever think of. Keep up the good work.

The only thing you need to get right is the race and program number when you bet. That's it! Names and colors are only important for zenyatta fans.

So it's almost like it's a live, unscripted show, and human beings aren't machines ready to copy and verbally paste every nugget of information they've come across at the drop of a dime?

Odd.

I'm sure there is enough tongue in cheek action here, but you're fine. You're doing good work, and failing to come up with the name of a single horse when you look at hundreds of them a week, every week, should hardly be viewed as a sign of unpreparedness.

Keep it up, Jay.

You were wrong posting this but 100% right about the ball busting. That's what happens when you have "moderators" that can delete anything they don't agree with because they think it's insulting yet throw out their own insults anytime they want. Welcome to the internet where you can say anything you want about somebody while hiding behind a screen name.

Steve's show always has the feel of a relaxing discussion at the track or watering hole. Steve you are to be congratulated for making it all look and sound so easy. Just as in shared conversations with friends, names will be forgotten: "you know who I'm talking about" is not an uncommon remark made among friends.

Jay great work! I enjoy listening to your segment.

One good thing about Siena 16's whining is I did learn of Jay's Blog!
