UH YAH........Multiple convictions for high CO2(Mitchell.) Biggest crook we have out here.POLISH #S FOR THE SIRE. I used it on top of the 3,but the sumbtch(11) blocked the 3 just when he was unloading a kick,and then he had to wait some more,and couldn't even get 2nd.That fence being out,just costs people tons of money.Those front two just came right over on the 11,and he then came right in front of a horse full of run.Then the 11 goes slow(3 gotta wait,)and then finally the 11 goes fast(too latefor the 3,and all momentum in the toilet.)Like I said,no way the 3 shouldn't have come top 2.They let these guys simply float out on contenders(at the dirt apron.)They are gunna have a very bad accident(due to them putting that g d fence out there like that.)It is one thing to have it out for the regular turf course races,but it totally fcks up hill races.They won't change until somebody gets killed.What happens if my horse was just a little closer to that 11 when they hit that apron? They clip badly.11 WOULD COME OVER,AND THEY WOULD CLIP.Those 2 leaders are looking at a situation where that f'n fence makes them go out towards the stands(in order to get outside of that plastic fence.)They go more towards the stands than they need to,and they cause hell.

Bahri had his head turned at the start last time out, and he breaks well and has a little bit of a pace to run at he has a big shot. Either one of these wins for fun unless Up In the gods is ready.

The other one I love today is Twin Turbo in the 4th.

Ok.............no love on the pick of Chief in the 8th.......no worries, I rolled again today with the late pk3 6 times, late double 4 times. +$600 on the day. If my longshot 2 would of had a little better trip then I would have rolled big today. Anyway, conrats to all else who did well.

You didn't post a winning p3 or p4(the applause would then have come.)You didn't come here before the 8th,and post you were alive to the 6 in the p3(again applause would have come.)We both needed to get that 5th race.F'n Hill is really a mess with that rail out.Not as bad on the weekends(no rail out.)

I know I was out at the OTB, and not online. I left about 4:30 eastern and got home late, after some celebrating. The 5th race killed me...if the 2nd (2) or 3rd (8) place horse could of gotten up it would of been huge. I am starting to take to your views of these damn down the hill races scuds.

Way too much floating out being allowed at that dirt apron area.If the jocks on the leaders were given days for their horses floating out like that,you would see some much more fair racing.With those fences up,it is like water being forced into a smaller pipe.They go from having plenty of room to having to enter a small entrance that is actually to their right.If the leaders kept running straight,they run run into plastic fence,and then fall.So,they don't go just a little right(to them.) They do like they did in the 5th race yesterday(they float out 3 or 4 paths,and stop the momentum of other horses..like the 3 horse yesterday.)Now,the A Holes will say "don't play it." Well,here is the thing.Any ****** can figure out that the next 2 races have 2 extreme chalks,and the last was somewhat open.They put a hill course turf sprint (with rails out to f the race up) to start the p4.Fans don't choose the races in the p4.The late p3 only paid $87.You have no choice but to try to hit that p4.

Root,look how much Blanc got away with in that race.He is slowly forcing the 3 out the whole G D way.Agapito doesn't want to be that wide coming into that apron.Blanc has pushed him out there,and then when they hit the apron Blanc forces Agapito to stay out further and further.That has become the WILD WEST.THEY LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANT DOWN THAT HILL.THAT IS SICK.

agree 100%, while it is diffiuclt to keep a straight path when they hit the dirt I think the leaders use that to their advantage by floating out further then needed to alter the course of the closers. Basically, speed and stalkers are winning these things unless a closer can get a clear path on the rail.

I'd say that the ideal spot is where the winner came from(just behind the speed.)Then when the speed floats over,they have an excuse to cut off anybody making a move behind them.As you can see,the 11 blocked the 3(just when the 3 was ready to unleash his kick.......the 3 is then blocked on the inside as well..by the 2.)That's it for the 3.Once you get stopped,you can't rally wide(especially after the 2 has been forcing him wider and wider the whole damn race..got to be empty.)Let's face it,Blanc won with this 3 last time,and didn't like being taken off (in favor of the returning Delgadillo.) Unfortunately he was on a mount just inside of the 3,and spent the whole race f'n the trip up for the 3.What comes around goes around.He will get his French a$$ in a sling soon enough.Look for Blanc to be run into a rail,and knocked down.
