Brad Thomas

Brad Thomas who analyzes New Jersey racing should be doing the NYRA races. He played or worked the NYRA circuit for many years,but was never given a chance in the analyst's role on the racing show.

I would guess Brad is very happy where he is.

No doubt he does a superior job.

He does the morning line at Monmouth which, I think, is better than most tracks. Philly's morning line is a joke sometimes.

Brad should be writing a handicapping book if he has all that idle time. I'll read it won't you?

Brad's primary occupation is that of a full-time player. He is not a timid bettor and extremely value oriented. He is also quite successful. He used to work for NYRA in some capacity, teaching new and inexperienced players how to handicap. Along with his former partner Marc Siegelaub, they published the FACTS sheets in NY. Similar pricing to Rags sheets, fully adjusted numbers with detailed trip info. Problem was, when I looked at them, they did not have out of town numbers. They also used to publish a weekly newsletter, available at many newstands in NY, which was very insightful. Doug Kaplan assisted in this endeavor and was excellent with pedigrees and what to look for in the future. Anyone happen to know what happened to Doug after he went to law school? All three of these guys came out of Sports Eye and had their start in harness racing.

Don't know Doug Kaplan, but I see Marc occasionally and if I remember next time I'll ask him.

Thanks, It's probably about 20 years since they were together and it was Doug's knowledge that impressed me the most.

I don't remember it, but Newsday had a suberb racing staff in the 80's and early 90's.

It was Newsday.

The best guys the Daily News had were Ernie Munick followed by Kurt Paseka making daily picks. Those guys were great.
