Our technology in this area is pathetic. It shouldn't take 4 weeks to doctor a photo.

And...whether the photo is posted or not, it doesn't change the outcome for any bettor, ever.

I'm tired of the media ragging on inside-baseball type items...stupid stuff that only impacts the media (not saying this is a case). But the articles from Vic Zast and John Pricci (and others) over the last few days, whining about press releases from NYRA and other silly banter is so ridiculous.

The laziness that is rife amongst the racing media is amazing and the more they whine about trivial things that matter to no one but themselves, the more they do towards their extinction. Blah blah blah, nothing about Super Saver working towards the Haskell...well, if you got up and went to the works early enough, you might have seen that, AND maybe something else newsworthy.
