The author, Mark Cramer, gave me my direction. His wisdom and esoteric approach takes the game beyond hard number calculations and allows one to enjoy the potential of profitablility.   Handicapping Style: I deem myself a Kinkicapper. Pace is paramount, as is the trip, especially exiting a key race. Nothing hard, nothing fast, but value is always most important.  Back to Brisnet.com Hall of Fame [ Sign-up ] [ Products & Prices ] [ Bookstore ] [ Track Info ] [ Library ] [ Tech Support ] [ F.A.Q. ] [ Member Services ] [ Contact Us ]
