Mke sometimes finds himself in situations that probably could have been handled differently, but atleast he is making an effort for the good of the game in my opinion. It's very easy to play armchair quarterback when you're not in the trenches with him! Keep plugging away Mike!!!!

I agree. Mike's crusade is good for the horse in general. Can he do things differently? Maybe. But the horse carriage industry is part of a powerful union. What they should do is put the matter to the voters. Let NYC voters decide if the treatment of these horses are cruel and unfair. My humble opinion is that Mikes side would win handily in a referendum.

Damn that's twice this week
 Indiana Tuesday and now this.
 Each time a single in the last leg..which I try to avoid
That is a shame, I really liked the 2 in leg 5
I need a price here or that ticket is a loser..except for Jackie's sister

I will get back $61 bucks from that pick 5
The other pick 5's today paid $7,500 and $2,600
Mine $61
Whopeeee!!!!
I might be able to fill my gas tank

Post your pic and we can all compare.

If you're going to have a one sided relentless conversation here about another man's looks, their jeans...

It's ok, we won't judge, but are you a closeted fag because there really is no other explanation? 

Perfect response
I just have one question and I am not trying to be an asshole

 
If ya needed money for food and an oil change, why were you at the track?


this does make me laugh,, and in some cases it isnt really funny
addiction, is sad. people have wagered their week's check and not pay a bill.
i admit in my younger days i played it very close, but did manage to pay bills
some do not
i believe now where ever you wager there is a sign saying something about gambler anonymous,, kinda like AA
its a sad sickness, and i am positive you are aware of all this
but gotta admit that line was funny !!!
