Thank you Braxton Boyd

Race 6 at Monticello is a great example of racing is suppose to be.

He parks the 1/5 favorite who should have been parked.  So many times these idiots concede everything and horses that could and should be beat win just because they are the favorite or driven by a driver that is allowed to get whatever they want.

If most of these guys had to actually drive a horse and figure things out instead of getting gigantic holes and favors, many win percentages would go down to around 5%.

So thanks Braxton....KEEP RACING!

Yes I lost a dollar on the race singling the favorite in the pick 3 but the horse clearly to me had some type of equipment issue.

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!

Easy now he parked Jim Taggert jr not exactly what I’d consider a “star”

  • JOHN FRANK: Had a great day. Went to grade school in mornin with 4 other vets. Love it when kindergarteners wonder what is that old white bearded man doin. the others were dressed in fatique unies as they in NATIONAL GUARD. Then went to CARPENTERSVILLE park to VETERANS MEMORIAL,for there service and was up for picture takig with 14 other vets. It was a tie between me and one other guy as to who was the oldest VET. Then went to VFW and thepread. Had some chow and a coke. No complaints on day so far. But: IT ain't over till its over.
