a fair race call? Call the action taking place on the track not the action effecting your wallet

Of course it isn't condoned, but it happens every day at every track in every race. We all know tracks do basically nothing at all that is going to decrease handle by $1.

Are you a parrot for the lunatic fringe on this site that has this irrational bias against Vic? Until you can show proof of this supposed bias towards Rosario's mounts (post a list of races where Vic's call has an obvious slant), it just sounds like all of you are junior high school girls trying to knock down the head cheerleader by pointing out she put cover up on a pimple





I am not implying that Vic is, or ever has been, a cheerleader, either in junior high or any other time in his life.... you haven't, have you Vic?

That's ironic. Isn't racecalling (particularly with a biased slant) really a form of cheerleading?
