lol they are right where you said you had no interest in turfway or poly.
I have no interest in either. My interest is seeing my friend keep his job.

I'd say thats a pretty big interest wouldn't you?
Be like me saying I have "no interest" whatsoever in seeing one of my clients succeed because I don't own the horse. Obviously, I do.

No, if none of this ever happened I would still want him to succeed. No matter what, I want him to do well.

You guys can have the last word because I am exhausted. And plus I think there are better things to discuss. But it was a good debate (for the most part).

C'mon Euro.

The trainer calls you after the race and says, "Horse A ran in the 4th and had such and such trip and finished so and so". And then the other trainer calls and says, "Horse B ran in the 8th and had such and such trip and finished so and so". Maybe it's the same trainer -- doesn't really matter.

And then at the end of the conversation the trainer(s) says, "By the way we scoped both horses and they came back fine". And you don't ask why? Or the trainer never mentions why he/she scoped both horses?

Scoping horses after a race isn't normally routine -- especially at a place like Turfway.

Don't blow smoke OK?

A couple of things here. I didn't know each horse was scope until I got the email on each this morning. I also pay a one time flat rate per year. I do not pay any monthly bills. I have sent an email back asking why each was scope. When I find out why, I will let you know so you can rest easy.

You do that -- you let me know. Because I am interested in hearing . . .

I didn't appreciate that maybe your ownership was through participating in a club/syndication. Even in most of those -- there are expenses beyond "a one time flat rate fee" if such expenses are necessary.

And I'm not knocking that way of ownership. In fact, I think it's one of the best things the industry has going for it. I wish the general public knew more about it. It would be many more $$$ flowing into racing.

I get the feeling when I hear synthetic reports from some folks like I would if i was watching the weatherman here in upstate NY and he called for sunny skies every single day.
