he might have been nice to you and the blinkers off show, but he was no prize package with his father.

Having the characteristics of a New Yorker is a state of mind not a state of the union.

Thanks DEO I've studied long and hard to be able to "sound" like I know what I'm talking about.

Interesting you mentioned my analyzing races using sheet mentality.

I've recently been contacted by Jeff Franklin and Jerry Brown of Thoro-Graph about doing some Zoomcasts on that very subject.

They will start in a couple weeks. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the kind words.

More of Vic Stauffer in any arena = benefit for racing and it's fans.

I like Vic's analysis, too. Very sharp.

Personally, I miss Mike's analysis and post race comments in the same way I miss the show Kenny Peck used to do with Brad Thomas a few years back. There's still a lot of fine handicapping talent at DRF like Illman, Beer, CJ/Aragona via Timeform and others, but the more the merrier. Certain people have handicapping styles that match what you are interested in.

Looks like he's become a tout.

I have nothing. Men fight for me because if they do not, I throw them off my land and I starve their wives and children. Those men who bled the ground red at Suffolk Downs fought for Horse Racing. They fought for something. And It was taken from them when Suffolk Downs closed. Horse racing betrayed him. I saw it in his face on the battlefield and it's tearing me apart.

I gambled with Mikes father while he was in his playpen reading yesterdays Tele! He was a good student.
