Who's the clown, bro?
No one likes what Ness does. You're preaching to the choir here. The media isn't going to change this IMO. It's up to the tracks. And when Ness is gone, another five are going to pop up in his place.
If you are looking towards the media to help clean up the game, you're wasting your time. |
Try again - happy to have the horse claimed from me. I'm a claiming owner and can't think of one in 15 years I wish didn't get claimed, including this one. That isn't the issue. I made my money and the profit check cashed nicely from the private purchase. Ever done that?
Filly got an 81 Beyer Fri night off a previous non-Ness best of 58 at Parx. Check the split times for her race - she never slowed down under a hand ride. Freak performance for a horse I owned, know, touched, saw radiographs of, etc. Simply wasn't a better horsemen's training effort, better placement, better jock - as an owner and bettor, what happened isn't acceptable or explainable.
But I respect your suggestion that the racing media won't do anything. I completely agree..... guess that's the saddest part of all and the point of my rant.
