Most Thorough Pre Race Card Analysis

[the_fat_man]

No doubt the winning team would be Serling and Donovan. Those boys get down and dirty leaving no stone unturned when it comes to analyzing a card. That's a lot of work, man.

That sonic boom everyone on the east coast just heard was a big ass kissing.

I mean seriously dude, I thought you hated NYRA, and everything related to NYRA.

Wow.

Serling beats more 8/5 shots than anybody! He's especially lethal in the late pick 4. IC, I 'm not ass smooching...it's a fact.

Seriously, where did that come from?

These boys show all the LAZY handicappers out there what it takes to win.

It does seem out of character for him.

Either he's being really sarcastic, or he's ass kissing with an agenda.

And ASU, no, you weren't ass kissing.

They really do a way better job than any other 'public handicappers' I have to stomach at other tracks. Though if Andy ghostwrote for Pacheco I wouldn't mind.

What I especially love about Andy Serling is that unlike most other public handicappers --- who provide steady doses of chalk --- he'll routinely give out live price horses to potentially beat what he believes are vulnerable faves. That's truly valuable stuff IMO for most of us don't need help identifying the favorite in a race.

Serling also punctuates his analysis with equal measures of enthusiasm, sarcasm, and an apparent love for the game. Pair Serling's knowledge with Battaglia's delivery, and it would not be the same.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

To me, it's easy to pick " alternative " horses, in that anyone can tell who the favorites are, and pretty much why they are favored. Nobody needs to be told these things. And, since frankly no matter who you pick, you will always be wrong some version of most of the time, it's easy to at least offer some food for thought. There are plenty of ways to look at most races, yet another reason we all love the game, so why not find the reasons that interest you the most, and try to share them. You can never please everybody, but overall the greatest good is served by at least offering these perspectives outside of the obvious, as long as at least occasionally your right.

At the same time, you can't just pick against every favorite, as some are strong ( and these can be your friends in multi-race bets or even other exotics ), but you have to try to find the more vulnerable ones. It's really no different than trying to make money playing.
