I give you consistency points.

After saying your friendly with the trainer who got fired, everything you're saying makes perfect sense, because you are too damn close.

I am friendly with BOTH Pat Reynolds and Paul Pompa. I have said nothing either for or against either party in this particular situation. Anyone who can read would see that is the case. My comments were in response to your mistaken contention that this meet was not an aberration. That also doesn't mean that Paul didn't have a valid reason for making a change. None of us know exactly what went down. Unlike you, I don't choose to guess about that which I don't know in this particular situation.

Just so you understand, I knock the chances of horses both owned and trained by people I am friendly with every single racing day, on the air. I am nothing if not objective. I understand, you don't listen, which is fine, but stop pretending you do.

Uh, no. You're not being objective in this situation. There's not been nearly enough success to continue the partnership. Have no idea why you can't see that(oh yea...he's your friend.) Should of moved to someone else years ago. Don't care why he did it. He's late.

I'm not being objective? I haven't expressed a single opinion about this situation other than to correct your incorrect comment that this meet was not an aberration. I have zero opinion about the split between Pompa and Reynolds. How could I? I don't know the reason....and nor do you.

The guy has 4 horses. You're telling me I am incorrect about the level of success he has had before this year, but the guy has 4 horses. I am not at all surprised that he only has 4 horses, because (unlike you) I don't think he did enough with what he had. From what I can see, your ideas about the level of success he has had the last 5 years are over-estimates (due to subjectivity.) I don't know him. I like his last name. I have nothing personal against this person. I just don't think he has done enough with what he has had to run. Simple as that.

Other than winning a Grade 1 and Grade 2, and placing in three other Grade 1s, with Backseat Rhythm, kindly tell me about all the other horses he has underachieved with.

Ummm...maybe Big Brown.

No reason that horse should have won his debut by less than 12.

Too long a list. Cut to the chase, and give me another example of someone he's done as well with in the last 5 years(b.t.w. she's all out to run a 91 Beyer for him right now.) If he was successful with what he had, then he'll have other clients wanting the same. We will see. I think he'll do o.k. as a claiming trainer.

I've got to come up with a name for this type of post. It's that of one who is the direct opposite of a player hater.

I know it's very early, but if all the parties involved really apply themselves I think this has Thread of the Year potential.
