I know we as horseplayers look more for the longer priced, hidden runners, and the information associated to it, but Andy has a much bigger audience that may force his hand. Or maybe he doesn't think about any of this.
One of the toughest calls for a public handicapper is a situation where you have a heavy favorite that looks very tough (say 6-5 morning line) and another runner in the race at long odds you really like (say 12-1 morning line) that might beat the favorite 1 out of 5 times. Do you put the price on top?

With Wood Memorial Day not far away,I’ll remind bettors of your $100 pick that day,a few years ago. Our mam Lalman struck that day. I guess that was a value bet that made up for a lot of losers.You know what might be fun,bringing back Crist and Beyer for a day. You could have a handicappers ‘old times day”and tell Harvey Pack stories.
