Steve back in January your mini review on Steve Klein's book The Power of Early Speed stated that you thought the book was average. It had some new twists but you didn't seem to be to high on it. Recently in several handicapping contests on this site Steve,s book was given as a prize for winning. With due respect did you change your opinion or sticking with your original review.
I really enjoy this site and am blown away when I see how many people are signed on all hours of the day.

Hank3849,

First. People signed on has blown all of us away here. Seems that some OTC's have been touting us a lot. In addition we have improved our rating at the search engines. I will make a note about that on the opening page very soon.

In regards to Steve Kleins book I have about the same opinion--neutral-- the primary reason is that while its the best at explaining Early Speed it falls short for other as important angles in the handicapping arena.

The reason I offer the books is that I had the author sign a whole heck of a lot of them when it first came out. I scattered them about and now I have been informed that we only have 5 left. That will deplete the last of them.

Rudy,

I have the set from Bailey although I confess that I have only watched the 1st CD. The reason has been the construction I am doing has taken a lot of my time not because of the quality of the CD. In fact, I really enjoyed the CD. I mean I really did. It is cram packed with stuff from one of the best riders ever, and very informative.

For some of the old timers it mostly is a refresher course, but for the most of us...what value. Even if the 2nd part is horrible I already have used one part in regarding shippers from Europe to my advantage. If you are into this sport, for the same price or less it costs to go to an amusement park this CD package is well worth the money. Like any media there are things that most of would do differently, but I am not asking for my money back. No Sir..

Now, in regards to chat etc.. I am in the process of putting together a new feature for the site that will be a short video with all sorts of handicapping stuff, guests, and it should be a different video almost every week. It will be fun. Maybe a few minute's or so long....
