APPARENTLY SOMEONE DELETED THIS POST FROM THIS THREAD
Pino
How long ago was it that we all met up for the day at the races? 4 years now?
Remember it was you,Shoe,Jeff(phase111)and his boy Kevin, Bill and his dad Brooks and me.
I remember driving back that evening with Bill and Brooks and telling them how impressed I was with what went on that day. What a day it was.
"Shoe" was focused on turf races only and was doing his "Quinn thing" with the 3rd fraction and also looking at the trainer stuff in the racing form.he came up some horse on the grass and he ran his eyeballs out just missing the win at over 10/1. I remember telling him "how the hell did you come up with him". He showed me his work on the form and there it was. HIS way Pino. HIS way.
You used your spreadsheet that you tried explaining to me (you were very kind cause I was retarded when it came to that stuff! lol). I remember though that you were serious and focused. Where was it Delaware? You used this horse in exactas that you loved and we all watched him win at OVER a hundred dollars with you getting nipped for 2nd in your exacta. My memory is very good paisan! Remember that paisan?
Each of us was doing our own individual thing and we all had a blast. Bill's dad "Brooks" was looking at his class and jockey stuff like he had been doing for years and hit a nice one.
ok so what is the point here?
Jeff here it is straight big bro:
You will NEVER win using or applying any form of matchup handicapping. NEVER. Whether software aided or not. Why? Because it is directly opposite of your beliefs and comfort zone in racing that you have been doing for over 30 years. 30 YEARS of capping.
Here are YOUR strengths and they ARE strengths.
1) Turf racing using your Quinn stuff you showed me. You KNOW what you are doing and know it well. When are you going to FORGET everything on THIS board and play to JEFF's strength??
2) Contender selection and trainer stuff. Honestly NOBODY knew Charlestown in this way better than you back then Jeff. NOBODY. You knew what you were doing and knew it well. When are you going to FORGET everything on THIS board and play to JEFF's strength??
3) Using VERY recent lines to evaluate horses.This is YOU. YOU are VERY good at it. So why and how in the hell do you think the "matchup" in ANY form can be for you? Where looking at lines 7,8,9 are COMMON and NECESSARY to win. You do NOT need the matchup in any form to win. It's killing you and your spirit for the game that you loved for decades.
**** the matchup Jeff
**** software Jeff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
When are you going to FORGET everything on THIS board and play to JEFF's strength??
People reading your posts here and on other boards have NO ****ing clue how sharp you are in areas that YOU are familiar with.
When are you finally going to abandon EVERYTHING you are not and just be yourself and have FUN again?
Jim G gave you the BEST advice right out of the box almost 3 months ago in the thread you started. It is still there for the taking.
Love,
Richie
