At one time Crist called him the best handicapper in NY.

Hadn't heard what's up, but caught that news today. Dave's one of the good guys. Sorry to see him go.

Dave is one of the more astute handicappers that I've come across...can't wait to see what the future holds for him.

Anyone have any idea what happened? Seems like kind of a ludicrous move for a company that makes a lot of them.

I loved his last 2 lines:

So for now, this is goodbye, although hopefully we'll do something like this again in the future.
It will just be in some other form.

this is interesting, my partner buys the racing form everyday just to read the articles. he is 80 years old and not about to change his ways.
but when you look at the TIMEFORM US, its like night and day over the racing form unless you need to read the articles. i honestly can't believe how good TIMEFORM US is with the way you can click on things and get what you want like the charts of prior races. add the speed numbers to it and you have a sensational product for much less money than the racing form.
i have nothing to do with TIMEFORM either. its really going to help me with tracks like Arapahoe and Assinaboia and Hastings.

Kind of cryptic good bye.
I am sure he will land his feet somewhere else. In a better form.

TimeForm should hire him (as Tom implies, I believe) - great opportunity to bolster their editorial content

I really enjoy reading his books. I employ his cutting out winners for the trainers I keep tabs on. It really has helped to look for their patterns and when they are trying to "strike". Good luck to him and I hope we continue to see his work in print.

Dave Liftin is a good man and solid 'capper. When Captain Serious went down at AQU, he was quick with tweet replies for this concerned fan of the Captain. The Form has lost themselves a good one here. Hope he finds a better home for his talents. Good luck, Mr Liftin.

Why? They've proven they want clown show stuff and not serious handicappers. King tenured bozo is proof of that.
