You wish you had the pride, dignity and good grooming habits of this man:

The Pick 4 that had the Rudy Rodriguez $12.20 horse and the 20-1ML winner in the first two legs paid $2590 for a buck and were part of a $118,039 Pick 6 (not saying he hit the Pick 6).
What impresses me with Andy's picks is his confidence. He sounded confident in that 20-1, and I think that's a quality you have to have to be a successful horseplayer. It also helps if you can back it up, like he did. That same conviction is what makes his commentary useful and entertaining, because he has opinions and brings up points that give you greater insight into the race.

What I like most about TLG is his analysis of the favorite in every race. Being a very modest better, my betting strategy has always been to pass races where I think the favorite is legitimate. There have been many, many times where I was ready to pass a race until Andy points out the favorite ran a bias-aided race, the formulator stats show a terrible ROI for a particular factor etc. I may not agree with Andy's selection, but I've cashed several win wagers in races I would have normally passed.
I don't really need a public handicapper to tout a horse that ran second in the class last out, is trained by a 30% guy, and is 4 of 6 at the distance. Guys like Andy and Brad Thomas make it so much more interesting with their beyond-the-obvious analysis.

In the end I think Andy is a good handicapper and I enjoy watching the show, but I would still like some sort of statistics, not just for him, but anyone who has the publics eye.
Not a knock on Mr. Serling, but a knock on the analysts in general. I suppose I would like to see a little proof in their abilities, and not just a talking head.

PA: You need to up the bounty on the Light PC hacking, at least to "knocking out Brett Favre" levels - $10K? In addition to Andy's image, also install Handifast and make it non-deletable.

Did you think he was lying and/or making this stuff up out of thin air? Posting crap for the hell of it?
I don't mean to bust on you, but you yourself have posted about how good you think CJ's pace figures are...I'm simply amazed you wouldn't take what he had to say at face value. Not that you shouldn't verify what anyone says on here yourself...you should always perform your own due diligence no matter the source...
But to say "you were shocked to discover," even AFTER CJ told you exactly what you were gonna find...that doesn't make much sense...

I was joking. I sent a rather weak apology to thaskalos. Pathetic attempt at humor. Sarcasm lost on people. I pretty much labored under that same impression of favorite superiority.
sorry Thask.
