Default The Meadowlands - Wow!

The Stewards now take things down for what they think might have happened.....not what you can see.

There's a way to build up customer confidence. This customer is now an ex.

TVG was showing the Works during the live running, and only showed about half the race on the replay, but I as well as the announcers are scratching our heads on what they were calling a foul.

Stewards have way too much power in this game.

On a somewhat related note, I bet Chelly B last time out and she couldn't beat a nothing field at LRL. Race before that she gets headed by Lookalike, after moving too soon at DEL. Tonight, Lookalike buries a better field. Game really makes sense.

As for the stewards: **** 'em. At some point, someone really needs to start posting some of these races/decisions online and exposing/embarrassing the idiots.

She clipped heels tonight, almost went down, and still jogged at an unbelievable 4:1.

The stewards apparently found it unbelievable as well. People complain about the NY Stewards but they would have dismissed that call in seconds.

No more NJ for me. Not worth it.

I took a girl on a date and later that evening she asked me to kiss her where it stinks. So I drove her to New Jersey and gave her a kiss.

I loved that horse and lost the W and the Exacta when she came down for ...uh...what did they take her down for...oh, exhaling on the competition. That's the worst DQ I've seen in YEARS.
I don't say that because it cost me. I've actually griped publicly about DQ's that moved me up, when I thought that they were ideiotic. This was bizarre. They put her LAST!!!!

Andy, I had the misfortune of actually being at "The Big M" last night and was flabergasted by the take down. I watched the replay probably about 10 - 15 times and could not figure out what the 6 had done. It was an unfathomable take down and I think NJSEA racing lost the two of us as customers tonight. Not that I'm a big loss as I only the the races in NJ on one or two days a year but no more when you get calls like that.

It is so painful to live in NJ and be a horse racing fan, with the only legal agering alternative being NJBets, it is disgraceful that our corrupt double dipping politicians are letting the game slip away in this state. On the bright side it is only a little over an hour to the BIG A.
