Why would you think I would want to discuss them? If Quickhorse is still giving out free Bris or Equibase PP's...he will soon be shut down (check the software area of PaceAdvantage). I thought he was already closed down.
I was a Betmix user for appx 6 months, 3 or 4 years ago. I liked the program, just never made a dime with it.

Thanks, but I don't care to discuss other programs.

Good luck,

His reply I just received:

"I approached you just as I had many others that offer similar handicappjng products and none of them ever had the poor attitude like yourself.
They all were glad to offer their tips & opinions as to both what they had to offer & were interested in what the rest of the world was doing.

I explained what I have been doing for some time and needed some more input before purchasing your software since it required buying a lot of data if I wished to experiment from the beginning. Thats why I inquired about some of your more desireable tracks & some tips in advance to avoid buying data for nothing. I was ready to jump in with both feet & buy 2 or 3 or your programs as they looked interesting.

Since you are such an arrogant asshole, I can take on the same attitude.
So, point blank, **** you and your software!
No need to reply as I know your getting my emails and we don't need each other anyway..."



Nice guy, huh?

You can do without people like this. For someone that would say that to someone that gives so much of himself on this forum, giving picks and helping people is ridiculous. You are so helpful to people about your products. There are a lot of people on here that appreciate you.

ill second that

Thanks guys....

Here's the BREEDER'S CUP consensus from BEST-5, for your perusal:

Greg is a "total class act" that would literally give you the shirt off his back to help you out if he was able.

Have a great weekend, keep on trucking and continue to do what you do Nor Cal.....

I am travelling to Orlando for vacation next week and wondered if there are any tracks within about 1 hour of Orlando.

Back in 7 days today at her lowest purse again...the only question is if her connections can get the job done, and haven't overestimated this horse.

I'll risk a few dollars at what should be a good price (unless the stable drops a ton of money)




*BTW: Hope you all know - all you have to do is double-click on any horse to get his pp's.

Go Lightly won it but only paid 2/1 so I would not have bet him.

Ok thanks Sharkey.

What do you guys think of this race. I am thinking #1 Our Bermuda or #9 Reluctant if the price is right. I have eliminated #5 Shae's Day as he hasn't run in 202 days.

[NorCalGreg]

I would just pass this race, honestly. There are 6 of 9 maidens with 5 Quirin pts, or more. Pretty fast race shape. Even so, I don't see any dominant closers, so if you put a gun to my head I would have to go with the layoff horse SHAE'S DAY.

He's been working out regularly--also, his trainer knows what to do with horses coming off a layoff. Also of note is the raise in class. This doesn't appear to be a public workout--but a serious win try.

Man I wish I had your experience. Shea's Day won it by a big margin at 3/5

*The 7th race @ Turf Paradise is one tough race to figure. Any of 5 or 6 could win it--but I'll go with top power STAR SUNDAE @ 15-1 ML. His numbers are competitive...and top rider Gary Stevens is back for the re-ride for trainer Jeff Metz.

If Gary is coming back to ride this one I’m VERY interested, but I think it’s older brother Scott.

Guess I was a little scatter-brained trying to figure this one out
