September 2008 was a long time ago. Long read personal blogs, as an expression of individual thought, were at a peak while mediums like Facebook and Twitter were still in their infancy. The Turk was born during a rain delay on a business trip through Chicago. Inspired by established blogs, we wrote our first post and tried to find our way. What is our way?
The Turk and the Little Turk is a niche blog that handicaps horse races and occasionally picks winners. period. We don't have witty commentary, we aren't a must read, most mainstream turf writers ignore us, and we don't honestly make much of an effort to be social and network. We handicap races and we try not to be smug jerks while cashing tickets and stacking dollars. To the 2,000 or so page viewers per month that visit this blog, we thank you.
What can you expect into our 10th year? More of the same. Handicapping, more video analysis and bet construction using fair money lines. If you find that interesting to read, I hope to hear from you in comments here or on Twitter. The Turk appreciates the friends he has developed over the years even if he is too socially stunted and time limited to do normal friend stuff, you know, like talk.
Thank you for reading!
The Turk
