But now, one has 7+ pages to scroll through instead of 5.

I agree, thanks G.

No. Computers do most of their work now anyway, and they are still wrong quite often. Name a lesser respected professional profession? Politicians dont count!

I totally agree.

Well, with the slight exception of posts 85, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 99, 100, 102, 103, 107, 111.

Other than that, yes, you are right. Those pages were full of just foolishness that had nothing to do with the discussion.

How do we know the stewards didn't take into consideration facts unknown to the public when handing out the equal suspensions?

Looks like I may be searching for another trainer, if and when I buy a horse.
I don't think this one cares for me one iota.
And knowing he's good.

Bummer.

I'm a little late to chime in on this thread, but I thought that Coa displayed a questionable move on Saturday as well. I believe it was the 4th race...he ended up winning, but pinched the 2nd place horse tight on the rail in deep stretch, causing him to check (Ponce aboard). I remember thinking it was unnecessary at the time.

Excuse me but post #161 is rude and totally uncalled for. I'm gonna have to ask to see my license and registration.
