I tend to agree. This was a bad downward spiral.

This really is the crappy side of racing. Here is an honest trying horse with six wins coming into the day and nearly 200k in earnings. The horse wins an off the turfer for 35k, admittedly an inflated tag for that restricted race, but does so in fast time and gets a 91 Beyer. Off this effort, Gary Gullo clearly knows something is wrong with the horse. He enters him for 14k where he is claimed. I'm sure Gullo breathed a sigh of relief squeezing a few last bucks out of the horse rather than taking his time with and giving him a break.

Now what this guy Chatterpaul was thinking I have no idea. Did he think he hit the lottery that day, getting a bargain, thinking he knew more than Gullo? Or did he think he could squeeze a few bucks out of the horse? I guess that is it since that is exactly what he did. Jason Servis then steps up as the next guy to be fleeced, and probably gets what he deserves too. We hear so much about how bitter and jaded bettors are and that we don't care about horses, but what were these "horsemen" thinking? At no point do I see any of them giving a sh!t about the horse.

Chatterpaul was thinking his magic touch could turn him into Khan of Khans for 90 days or lose him off a win to some sucker eitherway GO GO NAPAL

Any is a bit harsh and completely wrong. There are plenty of trainers that care more about their horses then they do human beings

I have no idea about them, them your peeps, the trainers we have used have all cared about their horses, never once have any of our horses been put into a race less then 100% sound. If they go bad, we send them to the ILEHC with a check to take care of them for 6 months and/or before they are adopted out

I thought it was clear I was talking about trainers that had this horse lately. It probably started when Chad Brown clearly dumped him.
