Barry:

Thank you so much for all of the vast contributions that you have made over so many years to this great game that we all love and enjoy so much. I wish you only the very Best in your retirement.

Best wishes in retirement. I'm glad to read you have your priorities straight. Your health comes first and family comes next. The importance of racing and everything else should always come after the first two.

I've traveled through Fallbrook and it's a beautiful and very peaceful place.

I want to check out a book he wrote about playing blackjack at every casino in the state of Nevada.

I enjoyed it, a worthwhile read if you are or were a blackjack player, especially if. You counted at some point.

Barry, I know exactly what you mean. For three years I posted daily picks, sometimes having to stay up to the wee hours of the morning to get them out. I also had health issues, and even though I tried I just seemed to lose interest in being a public handicapper. The fact is that we are all like a finger in a glass of water. When you pull the finger out you leave no hole.

I'm also putting a book together, primarily putting my past and some new writings together.

You may remember way back that we exchanged mailing lists and compliments on each other's book. That must have been 30 years ago.

Time flies. Best of luck to you.

Rich

Have always enjoyed Barry's articles and teachings over the last couple of decades. Fond memories of Meadow's Monthly, always a worthwhile investment. In my view, Barry is in the top echelon of player advocates and educators.

Thank you so much for your contributions to the sport. Enjoy the more casual pace of play - well deserved!

P.S.: If you get bored, you can team up with Platt, Maloney and CJ (among others) to help clean up the betting ... ahem...sport for us little people.

Barry retiring makes me feel old(er).
ADD: Clearly I did not check the date of the 1st post.

I wouldn't exactly call him retired. I had dinner with him over the weekend. He will be busy with the book for some time, re-editing and marketing it, and he's still very aware of both the blackjack and racing world.



We should all look forward to the insights in his upcoming book as well as interviews he will probably be doing with Steve Byk, Ray Paulick (or one of his staff) and elsewhere.
