We need to have an investigation of this pre-posting. Does the tote system run this board by any chance?

CJ's numbers are by far the best around. And CJ is an all around great guy.

Not to pile on, but unless this is completely tongue-in-cheek, this may be the single worst post ever.
CJ doesn't need to be defended by anyone, as a handicapper or ( more importantly ) a person, but he's about as fine an example of both as you will ever be lucky enough to know in life. Hell, just his shocking generosity on this website proves that.
It's amazing some of the crap that gets spewed on the internet. But congratulations on rising to the top of the garbage heap with this one.

It was COMPLETELY tounge in cheek. Wow...struck a nerve here. Was seriously kidding....anytime you have a 30-1 shot on top, you deserve credit and do not have to defend it. My apologies to all as I was not bashing the guy.

I just re-read your post.....what was tongue in cheek about it? I really cant see any way that the post wasnt intended in the way most are interpreting it.

What a boost to one's ego it must be. My only goal in life now is to have a post entirely dedicated to whether or not I am a genius. I am not sure what steps I need to take. Is there a form to fill out?  For now I guess I'll go back to plugging away on the selection board. And yes I am just screwing around here. Good luck today handicappers.

While I appreciate the nice words here of many, the only boost me ego needs is cash. May you fill your pockets today with other people's money, not mine.

A friend of mine and myself used some commercial software on the race discussed in this thread. Arlington Park – Race 7 - August 13, 2011. The Hatoof Race.
All Selections are BLACK BOX with no adjustments made using BRIS Multicaps data file. Race scratches were already removed by BRIS, so the file contained only horses that ran in the race.
You can easily see how the "Santina Dond" program rankings gave this horse a really good chance to win at 30-1 using only BRIS data.
Rank 1 ...JCapper OddsLine Version 2005-2006
Rank 1 ...Tom Console FG Program
Rank 1 ...Tom Console Space Program
Rank 1 ...BRIS Last Race Speed Fig
Rank 2 ...BRIS Class Rating
Rank 2 ...MultiCaps (Total Factors)
Rank 2 ...Aplus 8.0
Rank 2 ...SuperStars Oddsline
Hope this provides incite into the race,
Gene
