Case in point. A few years ago we went to Dueling Grounds, a small simulcast facility on the Tn-Ky border. We estimated about three hundred people in attendance. The number of DRF's.............. less than a dozen!

While this fillies form was not very good you apparently bet her and are certainly entitled to an opinion. From our view, she was in hand and saving some ground turned into the stretch clean, poked a head in front between calls, then ran to her past performances. Evaluating trips is often a futile task.
Case in point. Last month a poster, here, called out a jock as moving too early and blowing the race. We happened to see the race and the jock never mover until the pole. The race was a four horse field and contested at five furlongs. The horse O'rangspagledator had been off for seven months and one overshined poster foolishly declared that it was a classic case of "moving to early"! Like DaHoss that poster is prone to argument at the expense of accuracy. BBB

Fine work, sir. You have made a mockery of yourself once again.
OK, from the top- so owning a set of golf clubs does not make you a golfer, but carrying a DRF makes you a competent handicapper? This does not pass the Bayes test. And of all places for this 'scientific' analysis, KENTUCKY DOWNS? I've been there, and while it's a lovely place for an afternoon it isn't exactly a den of sharpies, if you know what I mean.
Secondly, you had a negative opinion on this horse and a positive one on the nice priced winner. How about sharing that PRIOR to the race instead of coming on here telling everyone they're idiots for betting a horse at 5/2 who "clearly is unsound and without talent" AFTER THE FACT. Perhaps that would earn you an ounce of respect which you obviously yearn for instead of filling the role PG1985 has left behind you currently hold.
