I'm not going into bat for the Author.
His arguments are often full of holes [I remember him bagging 5 horses in 5 races at Bris. one day and 4 of them won and the 5th. just missed by a nose!]. Personally. I think when it comes to picking winners he is as bad [worse] as the rest of us. The guy is a good read though.

I just like the banter.
His Letter of Apology from the Prime Minister of Aust. to the NZ Prime Minister for bringing Linda Cropp over here to ride Miss Finland is a bottler and worth reading [click on his link] !
