Talking Horses…no selections first two races

[westernmassbob]

I understand that the first two races today at Aqueduct are turf hurdles but why not handicap those races? These are part of the overall card and people actually do bet on them. Maybe more money would be bet into the pools ( especially by the old timers ) if they had some additional guidance ? Just a thought and suggestion. Have a great day at the Big A !!!

I usually compare "same" distances to handicap ...

adjust times accordingly by the 6.2 seconds...

but its the usual trainers that get bet and win...

What are you thinking, maybe 2-3 million more in handle a day if they picked the jumpers?

[Sheffwed]

they should have someone handicap the races if they don't feel up to it

and it's not that much work for them to just have an opinion

TLG's goal seems to be having an opinion regardless of what it is

Per RACE, duh! :lol:

Even if it’s a few thousand what does it matter ? Money is money and some guys only follow the picks on Talking Horses. My question is fair ….why omit selections for those races ?

The 1-1 double is paying a dollar. The double is even money. Gotta be a record or near record

They covered the races and Clancy is there on Adar.

Double paid little more than a $1

[Scanman]

$372.50 for the $2 Double. 1st race was much more competitive and TMQ should have never been 1-5. As for the 2nd, the winner was receiving 28 pounds from the favorite. For those asute 'cappers, it was a nice hit. I did not play either race.

[Tom]

But if Andy had posted picks, you would have pulled off the rubber band and peeled off a few hundred, right? :D

Lol. I posted that while looking at the Probables. The 1 dollar 1-1 double was paying $1.00.

Not that it matters but that double was paying close to 2.00 but they never round up on the probables. It was like a bridge jumper double and since TLG didn’t post his picks the elder bettors just sent in 2.00 1/1 doubles all over the country.

I look forward to your posts when TLG makes some picks on these sort of races and you complain about him making picks on a race type he has no experience with and misleading all the bettors out there.

This is funny!

Yes , I know. I've play horses before. Could of been 1.99 , could of been 1.05. the pool was 33k. 3rd race , first flat, double pool was 65k . Late pools are 50kish.

The double was very light at 186 for a buck. Someone had a $20 or $50 ticket

[the little guy]

I used to think Westernmassboob was a better troll.

Another bad opinion.

[westernmassbob]

True that was a bit of a stretch Documented evidence shows 90% of horse bettors are between 50-79. That research was from 4 years ago so lowest age probably has gone up. Most guys 70 plus aren’t really handicapping like they did 20 years ago. They usually have an entry sheet and write down selections from handicappers. Very rare to see an elder with a DRF these days. Mostly because of cost and impatience to cap the races anymore.

[lamboguy]

i am going to take a guess and say that over 70% of all money bet into the pari mutual pools are bet by people 40 or less.

“Elders”

Like most of your statements, would be nice to be able to book the other side of that action.

[andicap]

I guess if NYRA starting carding a cockroach race daily you would want TLG to handicap that too? Why in the world would you want someone opining about something they admittedly know little about? They would be worth about the same as my picks. Turf hurdles are an anomaly.

Your credibility suffers when you keep trolling like this.

There have been some really ludicrous threads started at PA, but this one might take the cake.
