Beats Me (1)

The stay-at-home handicappers whilst watching the horses parading via simulcast, television screens or the JumboTron. Can they really recognize a ready horse in the paddock? How much facts can they gather whereby they are at the mercy of the cameraman?

Note:
stay-at-home at Penang whereby the horses are being run at Kranji, Hong Kong and Australia = not at the actual venue and especially they are hundreds of miles away from the venue

Plain And Simple (1)

Picking a winner is 40 percent skill, 41 percent luck and 19 percent eerieness.

Needless To Say (40)

But then again not all golden balls are easily carried or juggled.

Needless To Say (39)

Like most stories they tell only part of the facts.

Needless To Say (36)

That despite the kinetic, the gesture, body language, facial expression, motion and tone of voice, somehow or rather there are Homo sapiens still misinterpret us.

We seldom find people ungrateful so long as we are in a condition to render them service. - Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld

Needless To Say (34)

What seems generosity is often disguised ambition, that despises small to run after greater interests. - Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld

Needless To Say (33)

What is commonly called friendship is no more than a partnership; a reciprocal regard for one another's interests, and an exchange of good offices; in a word, a mere traffic, wherein self-love always proposes to be a gainer. - Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld

Needless To Say (28)

As it is the mark of great minds to say many things in a few words, so it is that of little minds to use many words to say nothing. - Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld

Needless To Say (27)

That One reason that so few people that can carry on a rational and agreeable conversation is because virtually everyone puts more attention on what they want to say than they do on listening to what others are saying and answering them [accordingly]. [Even] the most clever and polite people are content with only appearing to be attentive… [but in truth], they are wandering from what is said, and really want to return to what they want to say…
The worst way to persuade or please others is to try thus strongly to please ourselves; and some of the greatest charms we can have in conversation come from listening well and answering well. - Francois duc de La Rochefoucauld

Needless To Say (26)

That most human beings have an extremely high opinion of themselves and also a driving need to be in the center of attention. They think their own thoughts are the best. They will live in constant reference to self, the choices made by a person will stem from self, the desires and values from the self.

Needless To Say (25)

That there are no short-cuts and that some strangers are willing to show us. The average men will fall prey to these strangers who boast of their connections, influences and their special position that permit them to do things that are not privileged for the average men.

The bottom line is there are no Holy Grails and none whatsoever.

Needless To Say (19)

Knowledge, knowing and firsthand information is the key and anything else is speculative guessing, hearsay, groundless talk, gossip, rumour, unsubstantiated information and marketing stunts.

Needless To Say (18)

That all unique individuals have their own opinion, temperament, personalities, thoughts, decisions and belief systems that work best for them and it is of equal value with intelligent, compassionate, skilled and gifted but function differently.

Everyone who walks on this earth is unique and this is what makes human society interesting.

Needless To Say (16)

That the basic problems and scenarios that human beings encounter don't differ much from one person to another or from one generation to another. The same problems and scenarios have been encountered by dozens, hundreds or maybe millions before us.

And most of that problems and scenarios are like deadly diseases which are contagious and infectious and it is incurable and it will continue for eon.

Needless To Say (15)

That you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time and not unless they are clinical brain-dead.

But you can make a fool of yourself anytime.

Needless To Say (14)

That no matter how good a system is there are always the human factors. Not just with the selections but with the self doubt.

Needless To Say (13)

Needless To Say (12)

That it is only making good choice and good bets and there is no best method, system, theory or strategy and there is no secret formula to handicapping or betting because every race and situation is different. It is a game of choice as well as decision making and as much as we are looking for a probable winner.

Needless To Say (11)

That there is no way to measure or quantify prediction and no way to develop the knowledge to make predictions correspond to reality. There are many predictions but no similarly apparent result.

That everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work.

Needless To Say (9)

That anything good in life and all the desirable things in life are either illegal, immoral, expensive or fattening.

Needless To Say (8)

That if you argue with a fool, people might not know the difference.

Needless To Say (7)

That If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up.

Needless To Say (6)

That not everyone is clinical brain-dead. Are you?

Needless To Say (5)

That there is no set answer to anything of course, it varies from person to person, from relationship to relationship and from races (horses) to races.

Needless To Say (4)

Equipped with a mind humans will live in constant reference to the self, the choices made by a person will stem from the self, the desires and the values also from the self.

And they would always deem that their own thoughts are the best.

Needless To Say (3)

That most of humans problems persist is on account of somebody, somewhere, profiting from their continuation.

Needless To Say (2)

That choices and decisions making apply to anything and everything we do and usually it is based on our own point of view. We make choices and decisions for different reasons and at different times. Whatever choices and decisions we make it is at our peril. No one can tell us beyond reasonable doubt that it is a mistake.

Needless To Say (1)

When someone is trying to communicate with us and if they are not on the same wavelength with us, the chances of coming together to form some meaningful understanding will be very slim.
