It’s Haskell day at Monmouth:

The Power Page covers this running of the Haskellit completely, without any addition charge.  Just as I like to do with all the big races, I simply add it in for your review.  So pick up your Power Page and page #2 will be the Haskell – with an opinion from this handicapper…  It’s clear to anyone that knows my thinking, that American Pharoah is a horse I love – just as I love Affirmed, Alydar and Seattle Slew…  So it’s also far to say, that my thinking is a bit clouded by my emotions…

I had a question about the “projections on the Power Page”.  Actually, I was questioned when Thomas Hill ran poorly.   Well, horses with good ratings don’t always run exactly as we like, no matter the actual odds.  Putting together a play, has to take into account a number of handicapping ideas and that’s really the job of — you — the handicapper.

The Projected Power Numbers, (I call them PPN), are a consistent way of looking at the most recent races.  It’s not intended as a selection, actually, it’s simply a very good starting point for your handicapping…  Enough said…STay with the Power Page…
