My opinion on Asmussen

This guy clearly doesn't do his homework...for starters Mr. stockholder, I am no longer employed full time by CDI, and if I was, I never made an opinion in relation to CDI nor did I represent CDI in any opinion.

And again, I'm a Louisianian...my father and I are VERY invested in the racing program there and no all of the big players...as a matter of fact, my father is also a LARGE stockholder in CDI and is also a huge invester in the Louisiana racing program and even he doesn't disagree with my position because he lives there and understands Louisiana politics.

...just because you don't believe with the way the Louisiana government handles there business - as well as many shady things on the racetracks with well-documented scandles that have been witnessed over the past 20 years in Louisiana racing - doesn't mean that you hate Lousiana people and Louisiana racing....as a matter of fact, you can tell I love Louisiana racing because I'm one of the people that would love to see it ridded of its derailing bad politics and shady players...the same ones that could possible be involved in this bogus suspension.

Well,
I'm sure your Dad is a far HUGER investor than I am. You got me there. I still find offensive your reference to Cajuns in what I consider a deragtory manner. You probably don't agree. Well, that's all right with me. The fact you may own a few horses and your father may own a few more does not make you an expert on State politics nor does it make your reference to another person here who shared an opinion different than yours as a moron any more tasteful. I'll let it go there, wish you well, but will offer some unsolicited advice ... upgrade the sportcoat you wear on Churchill TV. Good luck.

I fell as though I do understand Louisiana politics in how it relates to the horse racing industry...if I did not feel I was qualified to chime in than I would not have...if the topic of discussion was Boom Town casino in Shreveport having it's liscense pulled for allowing minors to gamble - then I would NOT have chimed in with an opinion....this is a chat board and when a thread comes up that I have a strong, educated opinion on then I respond with it...

As for the 'moron' comment, it was a pretty harsh statement by me - I agree, but ironically the reason that I made that comment is because I felt the poster was very uninformed as proved by the contents of his statements (kind of like you think I am) and so I lashed out....my bad....I do like Steve Asmussen a lot, but I also can say that I am unbiased in the fact that NOBODY deserved the punishment that he was dished out...just my opinion and I would have probably defended anybody against that judgement - not just Steve.

..as for the suit comment, you are very correct....look at it my way though...when you are doing multiple video shooting a week, you learn to just leave your 'cheapest' suit jackets in the office to slip on at any time....if you noticed, it was abouyt the same jacket everytime and I wasn't going to leave a good suit coat in my office collecting dust on a cheap coat rack....make sense?...good observation though

Honey, it sounds like I am more informed than you are. I happen to have worked the backside. I know what goes on more than you folks "in the office". When I have a strong, educated opinion on someone, I respond to it. You don't know who I am, or what I have done in the business, so you calling me a moron makes you out to look like the real moron. Maybe you should "educate" yourself about some of the posters before you go around calling them names because of an opinion they have. FYI, I have seen first hand the **** that goes on on the backside. Guess what? This isn't the first bad test Asmussen has received. Do you know how many bad test that get "hushed" and only fines are given?? He had this coming to him for a long time. It's time the man ponies up and pays.
And BTW, it's ma'am.

A) I never remembered refferring to you as a 'man'..

B) If you think that I am a stranger to the backside then you are sorely mistaken...I've seen it all too...I can rub and walk a horse as good as the next man, I just chose to capitalize on my education and choose a career path on the frontside of the track. Does that make me a suit and tie-wearing idiot that has never laid a hand on a horse?...ahh, NO...I own several that I can handle up and down and that allows me an advantage as an owner because trainers cannot lie to me about a horse's condition because I can review them myself....When I learned the backside it was strictly to learn how to manage backside employees from an owners standpoint and it has worked to my advantage beautifully...

I apologize for calling you a moron, ma'am...that was uncalled for...I know Steve as well as anybody on here and I do not think he is a huge cheaper or I probably wouldn't have the respect for him that I have....

You sound as if you are being sacastic so I am not going to bother replying.

I don't think you were being sarcastic, moodwalker...Blue Eyes is obviousy an unpleasant lady and she is STEREOTYPING you as a sarcastic person by making this inquiry that she is clearly self-conscious about...

Why don't you let Moodwalker respond? Who are you? The moderator for everyone on the forum? BTW, how do you get me being "insecure" and "self-conscious" by my posts? Insecure and self-conscious about what? You have no other way to throw insults because my posts are right about you so you have to surmise what I am? You, my dear friend are ignorant and not worth the time to argue with because you just don't make sense. You bloviate too much. Good day to you.

The size of the investor really doesn't matter...its all relative..the point is that I am not taking CDI's position when I speak on my own behalf in a small forum like this one - and about a subject I feel qualified to talk about. Again, if I didn't know the contents of the subject then I would have refrained from chiming in with a contraversial comment...I wish more than anyone in this world that Louisiana was a fair state...history clearly says that it is not the case....it is very unfortunate because that is one of the things that pulls down a beautiful state that has many positive things to offer....damn shame..
