Of course Reciept was closing....she saved all the ground and the race came back to her. She most likely wouldn't have won had she not been shut off, but even if she had, she would need to be downgraded because she would have taken advantage of a dream set up.

Receipt is Fool's Gold.
every good trip is a dream setup ? its part of racing... she had tons of horse, i have watched the replay 5 times, she is a winner, at worst second if she gets through....

no.. its not that, it just feels like everything is a attack from you.

It's not an attack....it's an actual attempt to try to smarten you up. We aren't " both correct. "

You are in such a hurry to react to what you think you see that you have no ability to step back from any situation and analyze it as a whole. If horse racing was as simplistic as you seem to think it is then it wouldn't be interesting and everything would be obvious. The opposite, in both cases, is true.

The only mistake I make, I guess, is wasting my time trying to explain something that took me over 20 years of my life to understand.

why is it a mistake ? if it took you 20 years, i have only been at it for 10, so i have at least another 10 to understand it, just keep working with me
