After reading Mark Cramer's post on HANA I felt inspired to write a long overdue post of my own. I'm a little too young to have been subjected to Howard Sartin and Tom Ainslie and some of the other greats in their glory days of real time horse playing. However I have read everything I could get my hands on by these Masters.
-I think the one that influenced me the most in relationship to the Sartin Methodology was Tom Brohamer's Modern Pace Handicapping. I added Brohamer's methods as one of my fundamentals tools in handicapping a race.
-In reading Mark Cramers post on Monday (see "The Music Man: A Tribute to Howard Sartin at http://blog.horseplayersassociation.org/ ) I realized that maybe I am lucky not to have been around in Sartins hey day because I then would only use his system for play.
-I enjoy reading every book on the topic and trying to take what I think is best and adding everything together and making my own system of play.
-Mr. Crammer caused me to have another thought about this topic, that is with Tom Ansilie dead, Howard Sartin gone, and others that I consider to be Racing Elders (I mean that in the best way possible) reaching there golden years, my question is do we have any up and coming personalities to replace these great men who made what I do possible? Without the teachings of Dick Mitchell and those previously mentioned greats my job would have been much more difficult.
