Honestly, I have no opinion (or care) either way, in terms of how polytrack will influence the handle by meet's end. I just find how the numbers shook out terribly interesting (as even people like euro said they aren't betting the stuff).
Dude I really appreciated that info.
I was looking at it for an hour looking at the patterns and checking out the corresponding days as far as weekday/weekend stuff went.
Thank you very much.

No i'd rather just stick to the subject of this thread and the claim that you made. You said that imbeciles have seen the title and without even having watched the race have rushed in to support poly-track. I have not seen any evidence of that. I didn't miss your point at all, I just felt it wasn't justified.

My sarcasm is usually unapprecated but Seattle and I have spoken on messenger enough over 3 years that he gets me. I'm an acquired taste.
I see people arguing the most vehemently over races and the like that i know they haven't watched or seen by the very eneral context with which they speak about them.
I'm willing to bet that staunchest of polytrack advocates on here haven't seen more than a few races, if that, on the stuff and they are telling us all about it.
Its frustrating.

NOW! DAMNIT!

How about "We are the World". I wanna be Ray Charles. You strike me as a Joe ****er type. Seattle can be Stevie Wonder since he obviously can't see a damn thing(I base this on the race analysis that he gives).

They didn't show it on the live feed(ambulance) but I noted the lack of a horse in the winners circle after the race and thats why I pulled the chart to see Scuds.

Seems to me that a certain someone didnt watch the race and heard a horse was vanned off. That certain person then assumed the race was on Poly and posted a thread without getting all the facts. Then that certain someone was caught and then tried to backtrack.

I think it is very poor taste to use a broken down horse as a way to be sarcastic and to try to trap people into posting something stupid.

These folks don't even watch races yet impart a ton of wisdom about them every day. I just don't see how you can impart wisdom on something you obviously aren't even paying attention to.
I think you have lost this bet.

Oracle you crack me up. You say on here that you cannot stand when people comment on a race without watching the race which is a very good and valid point. And I agree with you 100%. However, you comment on PolyTrack all the time without ever seeing it, walking it, touching it or even seeing horses train and race on it in person. Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black.

FWIW, I live 7min and 30sec from Turfway. I go there often...even in the offseason to watch the horses train (but only to appreciate the horses...not scout or anything like that). I've seen poly live. I have touched it. I have stepped on it. I have even tasted it...not bad...at little nutty but dry.

My wife's "moms group" has been yelled at by Biancone for the kids being too rowdy near the horses at TP (during a field trip of sorts), and a jockey once asked me to calm my 1yo daughter down because she got so excited watching them train one morning that she was yelling at them to "GO! GO! GO!" and slapping the rail (and everytime she sees a horse (even a seahorse)...she thinks they are gonna race...I think that may say something bad about me, I dunno).

At any rate...I've seen more races on the stuff live in person than I have on TV, but I am nothing more than a fan with a small bankroll. I am not an advocate per se. But I do find a lot of the anti-poly arguments wanting in logic or honesty. So, that is where I come from when it comes to the poly discussion.
Sarcasm is my main form of expression.
I wish there was a sarcastic face on the left we could click on to signify that we are being sarcastic. It doesn't really come through properly most of the time.
And your posts amuse me, as do Pillow Pants and that prick Titan Sooner's posts.(being sarcastic here Titan)

I've seen every race at Keeneland this meet, either live on feed or on replay.
I think that qualifies me to have an opinion. I don't need to smell or touch horse**** live to know what it is, a pile of it on tv looks the same(being sarcastic and ironic here drawing a comparison between horse**** and races on poly)
