Jim Bannon retired after the 2018 season.


His replacement's picks are here:

Couldn't find anything about Jim Mazur but this:

Thanks for letting me know about Jim Bannon's retirement and his replacement.
The link to Jim Mazur's progressive handicapping is what puzzles me. If you click on "free downloads" it takes you to a page with Woodbine daily sheets but there's nothing new since the 2919 meet ended in December.

Just my guess, but since he sells them, I would assume Woodbine was paying him to give away on the website. That appears to have ended for 2020, probably a budget cut. Maybe he decided not to sell them on his own this year.

From the right-hand column of their main page:

WAITING ON WOODBINE
Their Answer was NO on Woodbine on FREE products

Previous to that they posted that they were in talks with Woodbine about the free stuff. No doubt that Woodbine didn't want to fork over the dough.

Jim Bannon has suggested retirement for a long time now...Mazur's stuff was not that effective

How do you define "not that effective?"

ARCANE

Jim hinted as such at many of the Hall of Fame meetings we were at together

Hall of Fame? I thought it was the Knights of the Vague Posts meeting.

So you are saying the guy getting paid for his product to be on the Woodbine site hinted it wasn't all the effective? Makes sense. I'm sure he'd appreciate you posting that.

Can't help what is in his ridiculous information that in almost EVERY category is so full of sample error as to be useless.

You apparently don't understand my humor. Did you ever watch Big Bang Theory? You are like Sheldon. Watch a few episodes and then maybe the joke will become clear. Bazinga.
