Was involved with curious who presented some insights to NZTR into their handicapping approach - pretty much fell on deaf ears. I mean, how could anyone possibly think these people could get it wrong, or that no one else is worth listening to. Maybe your dissertations included uneducated stuff such as "could of"...which is your 'de reguer'... ...and they came to the conclusion they were dealing with lightweights?

Could be. Be strange though since I've written that possibly once or twice ever. And I didn't submit anything to NZTR. It's funny when someone like you has to present grammar as the only substance to their arguments. I wonder what will "the I' come up with next.

With mardi's assistance we did it pro bono. It told them exactly what their chief handicapper of the time told them in the preliminary meeting. Still they didn't believe it. Fortunately for him, the handicapper was able to move on to greener pastures shortly thereafter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this exact work to Mr Saundry at a meeting, he claimed to have no knowledge of it, so, with Curious' help, I forwarded the same to him. Haven't had an acknowledgement of receipt as yet.....two years later....probably not gonna happen...? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
