...how much a handicapper in the newspaper gets paid for his analysis? Also, are there any good newspaper handicappers in the U.S.?

You should check with CalzoneLord on what they get paid. I guess pretty well as this is his pad overlooking Lake Erie.

$175 a week ain't gonna get that done.

I would expect people on the major circuits get about five times that.

I'll break the bad news to you right now. The number of jobs in the racing industry that pay well are extremely limited.

He does his homework. "On Friday, jockey Patrick Valenzuela rides in all seven races. Bet $10 to win on each of his mounts."

Bet all 7 of P. Val's mounts? That's his actual betting advice?

Everything we touch seems to turn to ice, as trainer Don Warren came up 0-for-2 on Thursday. On Friday, jockey Patrick Valenzuela rides in all seven races. Bet $10 to win on each of his mounts.

Friday's wagers: $70

Thursday's result: Minus $50

Season result: Minus $636.20

Race 1 - P Val's mount is a 0-3 mdn beaten a combined 39 lengths in those 3 starts and is coming back again at the MSW condition (needs to be @ mdn 20, and would still need a set up and a dream trip considering he's never passed a horse in his career).

Absolutely zero chance - currently 27-1

P. Val - 0 for 7

This guy is the PG1985 of San Diego County. Rarefied air.

Saturday's "Spot Play"

http://www.nctimes.com/sports/equest...ae7b0a514.html

Hate to keep piling on, lord knows I can't find my ass with both hands at the track sometimes, but ....Oh My...

PRO TIP - you were minus 70 on Friday with that P Val epiphany, not 60. Wonder how bad the meet really has been.

His Saturday selections put his P. Val strategy in perspective. The guy is so far in the hole that he is poking fun at himself and making unorthodox plays. The advice to bet all gray geldings can't be too far behind.

Also, since we've had such a bad meet, we're going to let one fan make Sunday's spot play. Email nctnahill@aol.com by 4 p.m. with a play for Sunday, and we'll pick our favorite one. Include your name and what city you live in.
