I met Heyden a few times on Hambletonian Day, seems like a nice guy-prides himself on old, bizarre trivia like who was 3rd over in race 7 on Saturday June 19, 1979..but he seems a little bit clueless to me--i know nothing of his handicapping skills

The WEG talking heads are following what the other tracks do, promote the Pick5s and pentafecta jackpot carryovers, which are the only pools showing some life

Waples handicapping has been very good, he talks to the backstretch and seems to be in the know..mentioning Saulsbrook Victor would be much sharper last Saturday, he wired the Open and paid $28 to win--all of his selections get bet way down like JMac does

Rallis is ok but Blowe is horrible

Kirby documented #1 handicapper on Plops.

We're witnessing greatness.

Betting his ROI is no better than the rest even with that rock solid and innovative method of betting the chalks in exactas.

You still holding on to Napoleon Solo for the KD? I still have this position held, the odds continue to increase every week he does not run. He has run a few works as of late... I would expect we see him out there by end of month but who knows.

sincere thank you for the kind words

I am receiving less and less resistance about the betting after the bell-----since 2010 when my eyes were opened by a friend I have been screaming it and pointing out examples--but for a decade I was mocked for having such "preposterous" theories--but almost everyone has finally realized it is happening everyday

you made a comment a few days ago about the days when it was obvious when a 2/5 shot would go off at such low odds and now there is no way of telling which mystery horse will go off 2/5...you certainly cant tell by the past performances--that comment you made really nailed it accurately and hit home--i miss those days when you had to be at the track to make a bet, there were NO rebates(which helped ruin the game for the gambler)and NO betting after the bell.

 as Carroll O'connor and Jean Stapleton would sing...."Those were the days"

I still watch that show and know every episode,,,,,,,,,,,,,  is it not crazy that rebate has hurt the player and that should not make sense but yet its true,     It all comes down to management,,,,,,,,,,,,,    The MEADOWLANDS had a guy years ago HOLLYWOOD HEYDAN who lived the game and understood players and i am sure on his days off he is a player and that must be a 100 percent qualifier to work as a handicapper,       Can you imagine PAP that if you tried out to be a track handicapper you would not get the job over lisa blowe because you lived the game all your life and that would disqualify you for that job,     And having judges that make a call and the exact thing happens 2 races later and its a different result and you just have to look at FRANCE winning the GOLD in skating because the FRENCH judge gave the USA a super bad mark and that day the world got to see what its like to have the wrong people working at a job they should not have,

If you start to talk of all his horses, I feel you have to mention Fan Hanover.
Filly winning The Jug was and still is big news.
