From memory:
There used to be a Guy who wrote for The New York Post by the name of Manny Kalish. He would give a couple of selections for the day and explain "why." All the kids in the neighborhood would flock to his column.
When I read "The "Bossman's" analysis's of the Preakness, I thought of him.
I don't know Pace, I have no allegiance to him, and I know no others on this board. But, IMO, PA did a "Manny Kalish" analysis of the Preakness.
Win, lose or draw; PA explained his bet... and won!
P.A. was the best handicapper on Saturday.

My vote for best handicapper of this board goes to Dahoss9698...for reasons too obvious to mention...
The best handicapper that I have ever had the pleasure to know personally is a Chicago-area player known to his friends as "the crab"...a nickname given to him because of his unorthodox style of play.
He wins so much, and so often - and yet is seemingly so ignorant about certain aspects of this game - that he has me convinced there is a level of "genius" to handicapping, that a player would have to be born with.
I would think that he is just getting lucky...except that he has been enjoying this "luck" for all of the 20 years that I know him...

as paul newman once told tom cruise, "it doesn't make any sense.... the balls roll funny for everybody." but in general on this board i'd say:
bmeadow (for california tracks) and probably someone like sjk or rook for full card simulcasting. tonyk @ hsh also had a pretty good run as a pen public handicapper for the harrisburg patriot news.
these are just guesses though and there very well could be handicappers here even better than the ones i mentioned.

Even the best handicappers in the world still lose most of the time.

Yeah I have to agree with others here as well.....
Dahoss has consistently shown here a positive ROI and not just chalks. The guy can flat out cap!
Pace...well he has come up big in the big races he has posted for us. His commenst are usually spot on. If not mistaken, he picked one of last years TC races cold for the tri (or super).....
This year cold exacta in preakness....the guy knows his capping.
CJ...although I havent seen much of his cappin, alot of people attribute their numbers to him. So if they are using his numbers and winning, well it speaks volumes for the work he puts in...

I think handicapping is overrated. Anybody can learn to handicap. Anybody can find patterns and spot live longshots or solid favorites. Most of us have the ability to zero in on a horse that has a chance at a price. Some are better with low odds horses and have a unique ability to separate a 2/1 from a 3/1 and be right often enough to profit. Others are better at mid-range horses. Some of us can spot ready to win longshots.
What I want to know is who is the best BETTOR? That's the guy I want to follow.
Bet strategy is way more important than handicapping in my opinion.
