I lost $20 in the race, but I would lose a lot more if in exchange we could get drivers that drive. Honestly, I don't think 95% of these guys have any clue and merely win because of the concessions of modern racing.
Tim Tetrick said the quiet part out loud a long time ago...."we have to help each other out there" I'll never forget that when I heard it. He was not referring to...in dangerous situations be careful and courteous. He was referring to an odds on horse getting run at by a long shot. Giving a hole. Allowing a soft fraction.
Every time an odds on favorite driven by a "star" gets parked by a "lesser" an angel gets its wings...or at minimum I am very happy!
