Probably not but who knows people do come back from "the dead" sometimes

The poster never bothered to check emails and I don't think I ever heard back from him or we got into an argument I don't fully remember

Conley you never got those Pandy books you asked about, like-several times? Seems his most popular item was that Pace Slide rule thing-a-ma-jig. Some old-timers still use that item for daily handicapping, I hear.

I have Payoff it's in very good condition also have Voegele's Professional Method study course with his window handicapper complete with his red pen.

A little off the beaten path but loved the Honeymooners episode where Ralph and Ed do the tv commercial for the kitchen gadget. The 39 original episodes for me was the funniest tv show ever.

No never did I just ended up purchasing from Pandy himself and probably was better to support him at full price vs the $20 to this guy lol

Not sure if this is the same guy who offered handicapping books that I got into a full-blown argument with and never went through with the deal

The books below were the ones I asked about

Pandolfo: $5 each
Pro Simulcast System
Pace Handicapping Longshots
Speed and Class Handicapping
Exotic Longshots (Stapled pages; free with any of the other Gandolfo pamphlets)

Oh, sorry... was talking about the plastic slide "Ray Taulbot's Pace Calculator, with AMER-VAR. I bought one a long time ago and lost the directions. I keep this thing around because I think it's funny. It may have some merit to it.. I recall using it for fun many years back but it was more work than it was worth. Figured I'd dust it off for a race or two to see if there's something to it.

The instructions were in a pamphlet and I doubt anyone has it convered to a pdf but maybe there's an online copy?

Somewhere I have one of these, so I went looking.



Seriously, I went through a 3-foot stack of racing materials that have been piled up in a corner of my office closet.

Didn't find it, but I want some points for trying. LOL

However, in my search I did find a whole bunch of stuff including:
  • American Turf Exacta Win-O-Meter
  • Ray Taulbot's Positive Factor Handicapping
  • An original of William Ziemba's betting paper
  • A bunch of other stuff.

Truly, I may still have it somewhere.
I'll take a look in a few days.

HA, that's just good stuff. I did exactly what you did when I read this post about that slide pace caculator. I knew I had one and went digging.

Those items are all relics.
The funny thing is we all mail ordered for this thing

Actually, I almost never did.

Well, I buy EVERYTHING - but never went much for the gadgets. I do buy almost every book (and rarely return anything). I just figure that just a single idea is worth the time it takes to read it.

People send me stuff all the time.

Like that Ziemba-thing. Last time I checked, it was worth quite a bit. But what kind of guy would I be if I sold a gift?


Okay full disclosure - I DID buy the Pace Calculator and the Mattel Handicapper back in the 80s. But gave them both away as gifts. LOL

I know I have the pace Calc somewhere because someone sent it to me in the last decade or so. If (when?) I find it, I'll make you a copy of the rules.

Feel free to prompt me with a message in mid-January if I haven't responded.

I have Ray Taulbot's Pace Calculator with Amer-Var Instructions scanned into a folder, 17 pages, but I'm not sure how to attach? Jim.

Let's try this site https://filebin.net/

Pretty sure you can upload it there... and then post the link here and we'll be able to download from your post.
