The handicapping class was very useful.

Many Congratulations to You & Vivek Jain sir for arranging such kind of classes. No doubt this will definitely help me to brainstorm my thinking and way forward path.
~Santosh Bandekar

The good:
You shared your invaluable TRADE secrets.
You explained the concepts in lucid language.
You tried your best to impart as much as possible in the given time.
You gave new helpful insights
Your talk was well backed by RESEARCH.
What needs improvement:
Time Management: Permitting the particpants to speak in-between was disrupting your flow of thoughts/ideas.
In spite of this, I came enlightened from the class,though with a nagging feeling to listen more and more.

Good, but time was short. Would like to repeat.

Overall the experience was good. It was mentally stimulating.
I still have to go thru the notes that were given to us. Please keep sharing your knowledge about the sport with like-minded people who are interested in imbibing it. It will do you good and will benefit the club in return.
You can't think of retiring as men who've led an active life should stay active. Else your thinking process will shrink - please don't let that happen. Stay young and jovial always... Keep smiling...

Thanks for the class. I think its a good intiative, however I feel the time frame was too short in order to learn something worthwhile. You need to start taking workshop for 2 days.

Three hours is a very short time to put across all angles of racing. At least minimum one full day or two or three half days is neccessary.
Your 43 pages of notes is real pleasure to study, and get insight of human mind. Getting real new angle to look at.
Specially, the psychology of a losing gambler, lack of four "S"s and how to overcome it, and the chapter on belief. This is a N.L.P. technique. I am NLP practioner, and your notes really guided me how I can use my NLP knowledge for racing. Thank you very much for giving me the new insight. Even the John Kelly story is worth it.
I feel the process has started to increase our skill to master horse racing. Thank you once again,
~Ramesh Chawda

Thanks a lot for the handicapping class. It indeed was an honour to be in your company and listen to your wonderful discourse.
To me winner attributes, need for reducing decision making levels, and money management were highlights of the session.
I do understand that it is a very vast topic and cannot be covered in 150 minutes class, but still I came out rich with new understanding. It surely started a thought process in me.

I was fortunate to get the confirmation for innaugaral session. It was a great interactive session to know about your horse racing knowledge, and it was good to see people sharing their thoughts.
The notes in the kit provided are helpful.
Again it was a good day at the tracks, but unfortunately inspite of winning the bumper prize of Contest of skill for the day I just could not claim it as the win of Muroi thrilled me so much that carelessly I misplaced the counterfoil setting, was disappointed for a while. But I would like to Thank you for the time you have spared for us to share your experience.
