Hi Bob
I think this will help you ,
I google site searched Binder Improver
Basically a Binder Improver is a horse that is ranked 4th or 5th on BLBL
but is ranked 1 or 2 on VDC.
In the example the 1A is the Binder improver because its 4th on BLBL but second on VDC
There was no Binder improver in Richie's RP race 8 last night
I called the 4 and 8 "Binder" horses as a inside chuckle to Richie
I think Richie would enjoy the smile, I was reminiscing about hanging out with Richie and all our friends at the Meadowland back in my very beginnings with the methodology in the late 90's.
"Binder" pronounce Bin Der was my nickname
Richie called everybody
Cuz , So we called him Cuz and we each had nicknames Mine was Bin Der
because i worked in a book bindery ,
We had great times back then.
In all seriousness, This was one of the darkest moments in my life.
Before I met Richie, My self worth and confidence and self esteem was terrible. I almost died of depression after my divorce. and losing contact with my sons.
Richie was so kind, NEVER asked or would take anything. He worked very hard to help me learn to like myself
He hooked me up with Howard Sartin and I soon had new friends because he welcomed me into his "table". I will never forget the joy and pride i felt when ever my horses would win. beside the money, I got a better win, I was loved,
When I bet races and my horses would win
Richie mostly and often others at the table would scream "Its The Binder Horse" so load everybody in the clubhouse could hear it.
I have so much to be thankful for, Richie's little acts of kindness, saved my life .
And what a great life we have TODAY
GoodSkill
