7/12 (HOL): Swaps (Gr. II)

Gotta be atleast 6. There is no class involved with this circuit. Look at the 4th race Friday Night. Look at the stretch run of that race. Do you think, if Julien Couton had been on the winner of that race, the stewards (and the 2nd place Jockey) would have ignored what took place? No, sir. If Gomez wasn't on the winner, then they would of atleast told the crowd that there was an inquiry. In the last 3 years, how many times has Gomez been taken down by the stewards on this circuit? Very few. There's a whole lot of overlooking what certain trainers and jocks do on this circuit. Some trainers have 4 -6 major infractions, and are still going about their business as if they never did anything wrong. Espinoza can hardly win an inquiry, and Gomez rarely loses one(now they aren't even calling inquiries when he comes over to keep a horse with more run from going by.) Your getting a paycheck regardless of what takes place. Your interest is best served by making it appear every jock, trainer, steward etc. is doing the right thing. They aren't. They aren't classy. They break the rules repeatedly. They overlook infractions based on who the trainer/ jock in question is. So, you can keep acting like it's a "classy" circuit, but the majority on here aren't stupid enough to believe you. Sure, they will attack me, and prop you up, because you are on T.V. sometimes. They like talking to people they think are insiders etc., but they aren't stupid enough to think the circuit is "classy." There is a huge conflict of interest in having people on forums that are getting a paycheck from the industry involved. Your financial interests are best served by quieting any criticism of the sport. There is a lot of that conflict of interest involved with a horseracing forum.

Total hogwash.
