I don't know about Raffie, but someone get an APB out for Mike Smith in the 7th with Devils Afleet. Talk about mailing in a performance, a speed horse that showed no speed, a typical wide ride by his rider and no peserverance down the stretch. He may as well have taken the day off.

Raffie hurt my feelings in the 6th. I played Kasparoff's firster.

They've all been hurting my feelings lately, I would just like a rider to try every race and not only the big ones.

I certainly am not advocating for more takedowns, but as a horseplayer it is confusing when a foul is indeed a foul and when it is not.

I have given up trying to figure that sh*t out. There is no consistency anywhere...plain and simple.
