I wonder why they elect to not just post them as they should and subject them to creavity.I get why you wouldnt want them to change but it seems arrogant to adjust just for the sake of adjusting?

I think they do it out of ignorance, not arrogance. They don't look at pace so they don't know why the horse ran slower (or faster) than expected. Since it isn't understood, it is just assumed the track changed. That is my opinion only.

Maybe they like to set up a bet every now and again.......my view from the grassy knoll.

Whatever the case its silly to rep what isnt

Sweet Repent continues to prove that the fillies born in 2006 are a very nice group. She's won 5 in a row, the last 3 earning Beyer's over 100. She hasn't had to beat much but she's done all they've asked.

They did it for some reason because they do it ALL THE TIME.

It's three times now that they've cut the wonder Pig's race loose from the whole card to give his race a lower fig.

Actually, they don't do it all the time, just some of the time. In my opinion that makes it even worse. I guess some figure makers for Beyer are more stringent than others.

But actually, they don't do it all the time, just some of the time.

I assume this is your way of poking fun. I didn't really want to get into the reasons but to point out it was done. Those that care probably already know, and those that don't care don't want to know.

I should have said they do it often. Does that make you happy?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

It doesn't take much to make me happy CJ.

A shiny set of keys might do the trick ... and a tube sock certainly would.

[cmorioles]

I have all kind of shiny keys around here. I have no idea what they open, but you can have them.
