You know what? This is BULLSHIT with him. He ships all his bad horses to DEL and drops them SIGNFICANTLY. Some win by a MILE; others lose by 10 MILES. The problem is that there's no way to know which ones will run and which won't and they all, relatively, take money. In other words, HE BURNS MONEY at DEL worse than Anthony Dutrow. And he just burned money here, with our top jock not even able to get out of the gate. Get the ****in' horse out and at least make an effort.
I don't have a problem being wrong or losing races. I do have a problem with these guys taking a TON OF MONEY and not running however. Game is tough enough to beat without having to figure out which of these plugs in there just for a jog.
In other words, screw the 0 for 23; at least, make the lead like you're supposed to and run for a half mile. I can certainly live with that.
