Hi Folks,

The emag is out for this month. Because time is of the essence with the Cup upon us I post it here (I hope that's okay)

Thanks to all the handicappers that participated this month and good luck at the windows. Please let us know any feedback so we can continue to try and make this a better mag.

Just read it now.

I took a little break from HANA to deal with some personal issues, so I haven't had any part in the newsletters till this point. They're awesome.

A big thanks to all of the participants as it's another really good one.

My favorite piece was the questions with John Doyle. I met John at the NHC tournament cocktail party before he went on and won the whole thing. Very nice guy, and his knowledge of the game is amazing. Every time I talk to him I learn something, and this piece is no different.

I kept my answers short, but don't mistake that for meaning I answered them lightly.

They're all good, I don't mean to omit anyone.

The consensus seems to say that the Turf Sprint is going to be a good betting race, and after looking at the pp's today, I agree. I'll put a lot of focus into that race.

:D If someone accuses you of that they dont know you very well

You and Mike had the same most likely winner. As far as I know you didnt compare notes!

I have been so busy I have barely looked at anything. John and Jessica mentioned Caracortado in the sprint as a closer. How are his late figs? Does the pace look hot again in the sprint?

I notice Jeff has deep closers at 24% and 1.7 ROI at 6.5 at SA this meet. That makes me intrigued on that horse. Without even opening the PP's yet.

Referring to me as Mike from PaceAdvantage is like signing my checks "Indulto" :lol:

One of these days, I'm going to have to give myself a last name... :lol: Make me all legit, like cj... :lol:

1000 or so downloads so far and no one has asked "who is that masked man" yet, so you're gold! :)

[Grits]

Thank you for this, Dean.

[Exotic1]

Yes, thanks Dean.

[DeanT]

Thank you for this, Dean.

It writes itself with all the contributors. I am just a messenger :)

You are welcome from them!

I find them fun to do because I learn something each month.

Miss your post Exotic1. We posted at the same time ...... thanks for the thanks!

Thanks everyone for reading and participating. Good luck this weekend.

PS: Check the map of downloads in that piece: Only two states had ZERO downloads of the magazine. Can you guess which two?

I won't spoil it, but I was 1 for 2. The state I didn't expect is one where I spent many hours betting horses in the OTB. There are plenty horseplayers there.

[DeanT]

Were you thinking UT? I was. We got FIVE from UT and that was 5 more than I thought.

I figure since those two states are bad for ADW laws maybe that had something to do with it. This is released online only. I dunno. Head scratcher. Figured wed get at least one from one of them.

Good job by you and Doug on the Timeform analysis BTW. Good read.

I was actually thinking Alaska and Hawaii.

Utah has an Air Force base, probably a few transplanted horse bettors!
