Tough break fellas. Some positive things to come for sure.

I'd love a comment on the purse distribution, or lack there-of.

How about splitting among all entries?

Or do they need it for a new John Deere?

nothing runs like a deere:rolleyes: sorry you guys got the shaft today on that race.

Opening day, I was in a box on the 4th floor with a buddy of mine. His uncle is the Operations Supervisor and he came by to BS with us for awhile. I told him I needed about 25 Smarty Jones bobbleheads that they were giving away the next day. Said they were under lock and key, but that he would get me all the beer I could drink if I would go down and man the second tractor in case it was needed. Obviously, he was kidding and would never have let my drunk a$$ near their tractor, but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the gate still on the track.

16 cents, thanks NYS gas tax :mad:
335.9 here in the Mohawk Valley, not quite sure what diesel is...but probably less there!

I've had no problem, needs to clear his hard drive out with pconpoint !!

Is the video replay of the race available?

yes..on Twin Spires...every time I watch it, that gate is still there though

I have always been scared this would happen
at the minor league track I attend.

What if the tractor does not start,
leave it idling... what the heck do you
do? They have a backup, a tractor that would
pull the tractor with the gate.
Never used the backup.

NEVER had a problem.

That sucks boys....sorry to hear about that.

Damn...

Agreed. I will always remember JJ Gracie (sp?) on Steve's show used to say, regularly, "there's one way to win and a million ways to lose"..Always seemed to me a bit cliche, but the longer I'm around this game I get amazed at how true to life it really is..

I figured that.....but can anybody post it here?

not sure if this works..9th race

Cal racing has it.

No cost.

Type the horses name in and you got it.

Thanks :) ...already signed up there

I will work, but you are going to need to also post your account number and password so that we can watch it...

Looks pretty funky.

You have no idea the gate is sitting
until Borel turns around to make
sure he is clear and then pulls
up.

minor details

never said I knew what I was doing:)

saw the replay...freakin' unbelievable!
