Racing Media

[phystech]

I am amazed at what a kotex-sucking bunch the racing media is when it comes to calling out trainers like Jamie Ness.

Can't say anything because they might miss a chance to get a butt-snorkling interview for their paper column or radio show.

Unlike normal journalists who sniff out stories and beat the bushes to arrive at the truth, racing scribes cower at the thought of investigative journalism.... Why? Because they may not cash a bet? Or, because they might not get that elusive interview?

Bernstein and Woodward, who risked it all - they don't compare to racing scribes whose johnsons shrink at the thought of doing their job - just call the racing guys stumpy.

Whatsnottolike got an 81 Beyer for her effort Fri night. Previous best before Ness was a 58.

As a bettor, is that acceptable? As a horse owner, is that acceptable? As a trainer, is that acceptable? As a media person, is that explainable without questions? No journalist to date has the cojones to do an investigative report on it, though......just accept it, you bunch of pigs.

For one out of 4 questions mentioned, it's apparently acceptable for the media, especially if it enhances your paycheck.

I can't think of another sector of journalism that would let this crap fly. The racing media does, and embraces it..... especially if they got down for a score.
