Kerry,

I can tell you've never handicapped thoroughbreds for a living.
Indeed not. Have you? I thought you were a former DBA ;-)

As far as the rest of your post, your version is much clearer than the original. I wonder if perhaps you aren't being a little kind to your author.

" Yesterdays time of the winner ", the very base most systems and methods rest upon well over a century now, is as illusive as a " Japanese Candle ", when evaluating the possible rise or fall of small cap stocks on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

I found this incomprehensible. But you convert it to:

"In high stakes races, the horse(s) with the fastest times are not necessarily the best bet(s) in the race."

Now that makes much more sense. But don't the racing form sheets take purse size of past races into account, not just absolute speed? Is this really some new approach?

But he is clever sometimes. Notice he doesn't specify a year: "Hopefully by Breeders Cup Day the situation has improved."

Back to my October issue of The Jesuit Renegade....
