He's just here to incite. He's taken up the torch from the Beyerites/DRFites. He's even at the point where he's using POLY BEYERS in his arguments.

ha ha ha

Yeah, I take much of what he writes seriously.

Their HOTY got her ass kicked. Their FAST, 138 Beyer, best horse in the country got his ass kicked after setting slow fractions. And, they're still here continually having a go at a horse that's UNDEFEATED and won the CLASSIC last year --- while their horses either stayed home or REFUSED to gate.

Perfect example of taking the offensive when you don't have a leg to stand on.

And people are still BITING.

And the dude wonders, actually PUBLICLY MOANS, about PID using some know nothing babe instead of him for prerace analysis. Wonder why that is?

Aside from Awesome Gem, how many of the others have won a Grade 1 or Group 1 over a synthetic surface.

Funny, I thought she was everybody's HOY. Since she actually won the award and all. And I know it kills you.

If a single stakes race matters that much, then Garthorn is the greatest horse since 1986. In the 1986 Met Mile, he defeated the defending BC Classic champion, the 1986 BC Sprint winner, the 1986 BC Distaff winner and Horse of the Year, and the 1986 Champion Older Horse.

I don't know, maybe because I took down the whole pool in the Pick 3 ending in the 4th race today?

That's because Mr. Moss owned Garthorn.

East of the Rockies too!

Turkoman was one of those horses that had the look of power/speed-on-call.

There were several in there. Just off the top of my head there was Richard's Kid, Einstein, and Colonel John. So that means there were 4 including Awesome Gem.

Hitting a $1,200 Pick 3 isn't bad but I doubt they would hire you based on that.
