Evening Attire

[dylbert]

If you start banning Evening Attire types, do you ban horses that quit next? Horses that don't run when they draw rail, or outside? Horses that don't like getting hit on left, or right? Just some food for thought...

EA doesn't quit, he is merely slow starter. I can find value there, especially if he races against habitual quitters. EA hits the board and pays owners and horse players. IMO, quitters burn more money than horses that break tardily like Evening Attire.

I think not leaving the gate on time is Evening Attire's "Strategic Mission" for winning races.

Maybe you should have made a $30 place bet on him today?? My guess is those that bet him in some aspect are saying..."quite fair".

get a grip! the horse is sound and still likes to run. he still hits the board (i did make a few $$ on him today).
we all sit here and complain because horses are retired and never see them beyond 3. this old guys is 10 and still paying his way and you want him banned because he is slow from the gate?
steve was right in stating that the sport should be promoting this old guy.

One day we should all own a horse that races until he's 10, earns over 3 million bucks, and shows terrific courage every time he steps on the track!!
