Nathan Silverstein, ever heard of him? He generally goes by the name Mistah Nate Silver, and he forecasts things, especially the outcomes of American political elections. He is a leftist bordering on outright Marxism, for sure, but that does not invalidate his work — unlike his ideological opposites, Silverstein at least knows about maths and sciences and the other disciplines the reactionaries have chosen to believe no longer exist.<\/p>\n
Anyway, this Silverstein guy has a new book out, and you can buy it or not — we don’t know. However, on a podcast version of the graveyard of ossified management ideas, the HBR (Harvard Bidness Revue<\/em>), he does deliver an interesting and stimulating discussion of what he does, and the general themes have obvious application to horse-race handicapping probabilists such as yourself.<\/p>\n The audio can be played directly here:<\/p>\n http:\/\/blogs.hbr.org\/ideacast\/2012\/10\/nate-silver-on-predicting-the.html<\/a><\/p>\n Free<\/a> ones<\/strong>: Rundown…<\/p>\n Belmont<\/strong> 2, 5, 8, 9<\/strong> Pay-side<\/a><\/strong>: Today…<\/p>\n Keeneland<\/strong> 3<\/strong>, 6<\/strong>, 7, 10<\/strong> Today’s Stakes Pageantry<\/strong>: Weekend stakes volume for a Friday, that’s for certain! <\/p>\n Keeneland 7<\/strong> is a pay-side<\/a> doozie.

Town is the Municipalities Mayors H., a Socialist-type race-name if ever one existed — and this is very surprising for the Mountain State of W. Va.!
