Look at Dutrow in the 4th at Aqu. today.Nothing but breezing pedestrian works,and he n' friends get their 7-1.This is the sht that needs to be changed to clean the sport up.I have seen this sht for 25 years,and I am not saying he should work the horse fast to make somebody happy.I am saying these unraced horses don't belong in the p4,and p6.Nothing...nothing cheapens this sport as much as this does.I wish you never brought this up.Nothing can be done.Take your rape like everybody else.It is a trainers game.You're their btch,and that will never change.
That was rough, i agree. i had gotten knocked out of the p4 by the race before and had used her, but if i was playing the p6 i probably would not have used the 10 on works alone as you're right they were pedestrian, at best, and im likely not going 5-6 deep in the p6. At least in NY they put the unraced 2YO maidens FIRST in the p6 instead of having them buried so you can at least see the tote action...

Steve Crist has campaigned against California's policy of putting the maiden races last because of this and I for one really appreciate his efforts.
