You can say there is 5779 days in 15 years, and during that time there is possible scenario a handicapper can handicap nearly 5779 races, and, at least, suffer thru 5779 race scenarios during that time.
There are handicappers whom will have the dubious distinction of picking almost 5779 losers.
Why 5779 the number today?
Elementary my dear Watson, its the number of works we analyzed across the country from July 1st to closing day at Del Mar and Kentucky Downs in 2024.
5779 horses, clocked, identified, analyzed and written for the workout report.
5779 horses, working from all poles, barriers, and surfaces.
Kudos to Mike at Saratoga, myself, and Laz at Del Mar.
Three people were responsible for the 5779 comments on the works, Three (3) for the summer tracks.
We had Jason and Amy handling the cameras, where from July 1st to current we shot, and analyzed 875 videos.
In a period of 65 days, 5779 workouts were processed and published.
I take my hat off to our staff for going thru part of the summer having had to release one of our own team players, yet we prevailed.
We get up at 445am, get to work and have an onslaught of 30-60 workers whizzing by you in 3-5 minutes. There is no rewind, no pause, its continuous. You catch three and miss 10, then the gate goes off, and you have to concentrate on that as you don't know where they will finish, and you miss another 8-10.
Oh! pause it, I have to go to the bathroom, coffee is a diuretic for me and i need to P%#SS like a racehorse.
Sorry Tex, hold it or just go in your superman underwranglers cowboy panties.
Onward we move, we are moving onto Churchill Downs, Keeneland and later in the month Santa Anita, on our march to the Breeders Cup.
5779. Wow!
