Don't miss Richie's posts on the match up. He has really mastered it and teaches it well.

Lmao!

No haven't come close to matering it BUT I love doing it man.Just as you stated on PA it really is FUN. I have a LONG way to go but it is truly cool!

Those threads I posted up are races that Jim had worked with me. Some I had won and others I had lost. What did happen was that regardless of my performance (win/lose) He taught me in a way that I LEARNED something IMPORTANT about the matchup his way Tom. he really is a good teacher who gets very serious about the race at hand. he goes into this "mode" where the fun and games are over and the HORSE becomes the sole focus.

I asked him after a few of these "lessons" if I could attempt to post up and share what he had taught me personally. he said "Go ahead Rich by showing others what I have shown you YOUR skill will improve also". So that's what the "Hat Check" area's practice races are ALL about! LEARNING some very unique and subtle "Hat techniques".

For anyone interested as soon as Jim gets some better weather down his way and is able to return to the races the practice races WILL RETURN to his area.
