humbling, from a guy who handicaps better than I do, and is, in my opinion, the heart of this preeminent forum

Everybody has a right to the there opinion. I wish he would have worded it different, I hate the words shut up. Mountaineer is one of the signals I watch for the handicapping show. That is a great talent to talk that long up and to the race and he keep it interesting. One of my favorite moments in this game was my visit to Mountaineer back in 07 and watch a few races with them they were very nice and made me feel very welcome.

Since I closed the NYRA handicapper bashfest, it's only fitting I close this attempted bashfest turned lovefest as well...
