VERB
exacerbated (past tense) · exacerbated (past participle)
make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse:
"the exorbitant cost of land in urban areas only exacerbated the problem" · "the forest fire was exacerbated by the lack of rain"

From what I can tell exasperated isn't a word.

But hey, I didn't know what pandering was and I've been doing that for decades.

BTW Throat, if you know who says anything, nice or smart or funny. Yes, I know that's a much longer price than RICH STRIKE, you know are my conduit for reporting.

He's been placed on PERMANENT INGORE and that's where he'll remain for all eternity.

What did you think of VICTORY FORMATION and or ANGEL OF EMPIRE?

I'm still in shock Vic tried to pretend this whole thread was an episode of Scooby Doo.

Oaklawn must be super excited they are being represented that way.

There were no posts made yesterday.

Lilly left for HAMBURG GERMANY not Rogerstein on the 31st.

Like I said, a welfare check might not be the worst idea.

I forgot about the post about the Smarty Jones.

Yes, that was me.

Or was it??

"Forgot" LOL

The problem with lying is, it is hard to keep track of the lies.

You'd think after posting the most embarrassing post in this site's history earlier that he'd just go away.

Nope.

He's doubling down.

It'd actually be pretty impressive if he wasn't you know, the voice of a racetrack.

This also begs the question....is Vic not interested in a head to head with me?

I get why he would not be, I'll wipe the floor with him. But if that wasn't him posting the last few days , then that whole thing was not from him.

Interesting

What is worse....actually posting the dumb sh.it Vic posted the last few days or pretending it was his step daughter and involving her in his mess?

Hard to say

I'm fascinated by this level of mental illness.

C'mon take off your angry cap for a minute and tell me what you thought of the Smarty Jones.

I respect your opinion and I'm very pumped about the start of Derby Season.

One thing I'm sure we can all agree upon is the call was SUPERB!

Here's a very VERY SCARY thought.

You and I were VERY close to being co-workers and dare I say colleagues!

After Tom left I applied for the NYRA announcers job.

I was sure I had it. At least it certainly seemed that way after excellent conversations with both Dan Silver and Marty Panza.

I "think" not positive, I was their guy.

Then I didn't get it.

I was told by a reliable source that Chris Kay had never heard of me. It was not long after Larry had done the Housewife's call and he wanted a bigger name. He got the gig. Heard that Bobby Flay had something to do with the decision as well.

But that's racetrack rumor so who knows for sure?

The part about Martin and Dan isn't rumor.

Imagine how great it would have been to work together? The #1 handicapping opinion in the country and you there to keep me sharp.

That would have been a blast.

Best part is I'm sure that we'd have become fast friends and all this vitriol would never have happened.

You'd have found out that everything JP told you about me was nonsense. You would have been able to draw your own conclusions about whether I was a good guy or not.

Who knows maybe someday?

We did start out strongly. I'll always remember how classy and gracious you were when I asked you to help me with a harness racing shift I had to do on TVG.

Where did it all go wrong?

Wow, sharing about missing NYRA job was cathartic. Fun being nostalgic. Got me thinking about other things I've experienced in this crazy life god gave us.

Like when my car was re-possessed in 2000 at Gulfstream or when I sent a letter to the Sonoma County Fair requesting consideration for the announcer's position.

Wonder what will become of that?

I'm saying hello and Happy New Year since this is the first time I've posted on DT in several days.

My wonderful stepdaughter Lillian has been in town from Hamburg Germany. She's one of the four of us that got the same Christmas tattoo which I shared on Twitter.

Anyway, Lilly is a huge fan of horse racing in general and Oaklawn in particular.

She knows as much or more about the game and everything that surrounds it than even me.

She follows the blogs and forums much closer than even I do.

Before heading this way she was studying for finals and didn't read anything for a couple weeks.

She knows all about the ongoing battles I've had over the years with DAHOSS and ANDY.

When she arrived, she got caught up. The first thing she said was dad I can't believe you're still dealing with that guy. Leave it alone he's not worth it. Exacerbated I said I know I should, but I can't back down. Even though I really wish I could. She said let me have a crack at it.

Ok, I said. Here's my login and password. Have at it. Good luck you'll need it. I trust you to not to cross the line. Welcome to the Jungle!

So, for the past 4 or 5 DH has been trading punches with a 24 year old girl from Germany!

Have Steve check the IP address.

She left to go back to Europe yesterday morning.

Before she left I told her to delete everything she could and to put DH on ignore. I don't want to know anything.

So for those days I was OBLIVIOUS to EVERYTHING! I had no idea what DH said and what her responses on my behalf were. She wanted to tell me a couple things, something about calling Oaklawn, that worried her a bit. It's cool I said, no worries.

I think they have a show on TV the kids like.

I think it's called YOU'VE BEEN PUNKED!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the great racing fans.

Let's make 2023 the BEST ever.

VJS
Throwing your Step Daughter under the bus. You actually think this helps you in any way?

It's pretty sad that he just can't stop. Nobody cares.

I didn't throw her under the bus. She was a willing participant in the PUNK and her mom thought the gag FUN!

IMO she was brilliant. She knows me very well and has been looking over my shoulder for years.

I DO NOT CARE what ANYBODY else thinks or does.

This life is TOO DAMN SHORT to not have any fun.

I'm going to have FUN.

Maybe the rest of you will realize that's what these forums are supposed to be about!!

OMG

You don't remember when I called you?

I introduced myself and told you that I was doing a shift that night on TVG.

I asked if you knew anything about harness racing or somebody that did.

I had to cover the Meadowlands or Yonkers can't remember which.

You said you knew a little and sent me several cliff notes about the races that were on during my shift. They were extremely helpful.

I thanked you by name on the air more than a couple of times and again the following morning when I had an early shift.

If you truly can't remember that. It's kinda scary.

If you're lying about remembering, it's par for the course.

IT HAPPENED.

I have a buddy who has an archive for EVERY second that TVG has been on the air.

I'm going to figure out when exactly that happened.

Get the tape and post it right here on DT!

I bet no one thought they'd watch a guy throw his career away on the board today but here we are.

Vic, step away from the computer. For your sake. Save whatever shred of dignity you have left. It's not too late.

I believe you.

Little known fact, he used to send me his greyhound racing cliff notes years ago.

We cleaned up!
