We are about to embark on a new project: The Horse Handicapping Authority Insider Newsletter, and I need your feedback.
First, those of you who are familiar with my previous newsletter about 18-20 years ago, BrainWaves, know that when I say "newsletter, I do not mean 8 pages with 2 pages of fluff. That publication was 60 pages long and filled with content in each issue.
The way I envision this product is that it will be, basically, a video newsletter. That is, each issue will be broken into individual video segments much like a TV show. There will be accompanying print material as well such as PDFs, text files, spreadsheets (in both old and new versions of Excel), etc. as needed.
My goal is for each issue to be so jam-packed with good stuff that every person will be able to say, "I got something out of this issue that I could use." Think of it as a brand new handicapping "book" every month or two.
The cost will be just $17 per issue in electronic download, with no subscription necessary.
Here is what I am asking you to do:
First, please fill out the poll, telling me what the chances are of you purchasing the first issue. (Hey, if nobody wants the first issue, why make a second one?)
Second, please offer up your ideas for features and facts that you would like to see.
*Would you have an interest in an chart that allows you to adjust a 2yr-old's time from a July race to February of the 3yr-old year?
*Would you like to know which paceline selection strategy is best for maiden sprinters at age 4?
*Would you like to see an impact value table for ES points for each track broken down by distance?
*Would you want ideas on money management or ways to compute factors!
Tell me what you want and I will attempt to work it into the plan.
Regards,
Dave Schwartz
