Here's an example of why the game, which is challenging enough when approached rationally, deteriorates to the attempted plumbing of the mind of a simpleton.

Glass Blower puts in a huge, TROUBLED, late run sprinting on the turf, in a race where the top held well, and Castellano had him drifting like a drunk from OVERwhipping in the lane. So, reason dictates that Andrade gets him back on the turf SPRINTING, ideally in a race with some early hop, where he'd be A LOCK. NO.

He decides the horse really needs to sprint on the dirt. Okay, so let's assume that Andrade is not really an IDIOT and is trying to OBFUSCATE the form of the horse (as they love to do down up at TAM).

Tomorrow, GB is back ROUTING on the TURF. I got alot of confidence in the trainer on this one.

Nothing with you, Hooves, obviously, just a rant against these idiots that use/abuse horses by not running them where (class/distance) they belong.
