Hopefully ordinary racetrack goers don't read the message boards so they continue to bet these horses, lol.

On the other hand, people also get impressed with horses that close a ton of ground..........even if those races were handed to them on a silver platter (the winner of that 2 year old 7 furlong race today, for example).
