Well, as TVG commentator Matt Carothers pointed out, the Pick 4 is a new bet, only two years old. So, Carothers asked, what did Mike Watchmaker and his ilk do before the Pick 4 was around? Or, if you must bet the early pick 4, take some time and learn how to handicap steeplechases, Carothers added.

I add that the jumpers run true to form, too, and handicapping them is just like handicapping the flat races. Form and breeding usually tell. Until then, I say to the neigh-sayers in the Form, be quiet.

It is sine to be an interesting fall which, like most, will answer all our questions about the horses.

My final note is this: Fm not a big sprinting fan, but watch Lost in the Fog. This sensational sprinter is something else. There’s a good chance that two months from now, we’ll be debating whether he can stay ’mdefeated through the magic number of 16, the North American record.

He’s a lot better than people like Mike Watchmaker, who criticize his perfect management by journeyman trainer Greg Gilchrist, make him out to be.
