thanks

Partsnut…

Thanks for the compliment… but I am just a student of the game and of the Methodology. I have been passionate about this game since I was a kid. I have always been a big fan of Bill Shoemaker since I shook his hand as a kid... The Shoe might have been a shade under 5 feet, but he was a giant to me…In April of 1986, I went to Santa Anita on Santa Anita Derby Day with one purpose. I wanted to see Ferdinand up close so I went into the saddling area behind the walking paddock and I squeezed myself up close to watch the Bald Eagle saddled Ferdinand. I was so sure that Ferdinand was going to win the Santa Anita Derby and the Kentucky Derby. My convictions were his dosage numbers and his numbers of chefs de race in his bloodlines according to Dr. Roman. I watched every movement and activity in the saddling area….I wanted to see a Kentucky Derby winning horse up close…..

Ferdinand ran third in the Santa Anita Derby but promptly won the Kentucky Derby at 17 to 1 but was 7 to one in the west coast as we did not have one huge mutuel pool at that time. I have been passionate about the Kentucky Derby ever since…

I lay no claim of expertise or specialty of many aspects of the Sartin Methodology nor do I use RDSS but I shall use Rdss soon…It is modern, it has download capabilities of data but most importantly, it has Ted Craven and a support system…

I have went to a couple of Sartin seminars and I got to meet Howard Sartin, Jim Bradshaw, Tom Brohamer, Dick Schmidt, Glen Connolly, Bruce Jorgensen, Sam Wada, Tom Hambleton, and Bob Purdy….great seminars but what was important was my own ability to “fish by myself” .

Once, I phoned Guy Wadsworth to inquire about the Speculator program after Sartin was no longer active. I asked about the program and asked Guy some questions…I asked him if he used his own program that he helped programmed. He told me that he did not play….I was dumbfounded…He was very ill at that time…I did not buy Speculator as I made a commitment to study the programs that I had already had in my possession. But soon family and other passions beckoned…
