if you assume that the 11 signers were the only winners, it would imply that on $36 plays he hits 22% of them and that they averaged a payout of $2,909 for $1, in order to yield $32,000.

If the story is that there were other smaller tickets that hit for less than $600 and therefore not signers, then you have to accept that the hit rate is even higher than 22%.

either way its laughable on its face.

How's that "fixed" race investigation going?

And sorry, it wasn't a plug.

true he did have severe drug probs in the past but hes had a nice career and proven himself in every part of the country where hes ridden

Amazingly bad ride on the best horse in the race.
He will on Saturday

Shaved the moustache, grew it back again, and shaved it. At least last time I saw him. Super nice guy and a good rider.

I still don't understand that why every time BBB posts, everyone starts to act like crazy monkeys. Is he the monkey king or something and you are all happy to see him?

so you buy into the whole "i turned $1,800 into $32,000 in 2006 by playing $36 pick4 tickets"?

on other forums he's referred to this place as being a home to novices, and not for real cappers like him.

that's for starters, i won't go into New Years Eve buzzergate.

Default Back to Guidry

I would like to thank him for his hard rides for me, I always had good luck with him and me and him just seemed to click even though I never met him. On the list of Go-to riders when I was getting smoked

Hopefully Steve gets him on the air so I can verbally thank him

Thanks Guid

My most memorable was on Davey's Cutlass in an Allowance race at AP. I was like 17 and it was my first $100 wager on a horse and I was dead lead at the final turn and he shot up the rail to win at 8/5. IT WAS GREAT!!!
