Week Two Results

Week 2 was a much better week - all the way around, and especially the last two days.  I am particularly pleased with my handicapping on those races I invest in.....my selection percentages are consistent with the past six years of handicapping......

But, I'm faced with a dilemma of sorts in the "competition" to see who can be the "better handicapper."  Mike Welsch, who is the Calder analyst is on assignment for the Daily Racing Form to report on the workouts of the Breeders' Cup horses at Churchill Downs.....I get that.  But he didn't (or wasn't required to) make any selections for the week.  HEY....I have a full time job besides handicapping, AND I am working on a Breeders' Cup Project that I'd wager takes up nearly the same amount of my time.....YET I STILL MADE selections for the week - and watched and logged the results!

So what do I do - should I count Mike's week as an 0-for week, he missed them all?  Should I go strictly on percentages?  I have to continue my handicapping and match his stats even though I am required to pick an additional 40 races?  Such a dilemma!

So, as you look below, bear in mind that Mike's stats reflect a kind of combination until I figure it out.
