I want to offer a sincere thanks to those that contributed to a thread that is pure comedy gold. Here I thought that nobody could top accusations that tellers and waiters at Arlington were attempting to steal $5 from patrons, when suddenly the thread devolves into an argument of who is a better handicapper during repeated posts of people unable to correctly use the quote function.

It honestly doesn't get any better than this, at least on the Internet. I award this thread the highest honor....10 pies. Thanks for the laughs.

Only way it gets better is to watch you with a 5x5x5x5x5 pick 5 displayed behind you on your simulcast. While you talk down to us on Derby Trail.

PURE COMEDY GOLD !

I think he's as sharp as it gets, but he's simply put, not very nice. There's at least 3,4 people on twitter with accounts just to mess with him.

Jealousy will get you somewhere on the Internet and nowhere in life.

August 4th 2014. Race 7. Your top play was Rumble Doll. I wasn't looking at the horse to include in my P4. Well I listened, sparking a 4785.00 P4 payout. I thanked you as you were walking out through the backyard. Well, thanks again. All others can ignore your top plays at their peril. Especially at the SPA.

Even A broken clock is right twice a day.

He has several top picks in any given race. There isnt a horse he doesnt like.
I am not sure if he is a handicapper or auditioning for Saturday night live.
Either way he is funny.

This is an idiotic post and I know you're smarter than this.

Obviously I am not a fan of him. I dont have to be. I find you to be a sharper handicapper than him.

Not that it really matters now, but I think every cashed/cancelled ticket is saved in the machine unless its a tax ticket which tellers hand in manually, the manager should / could have opened it up. Seems very huffy puffy for what was a 5 second fix if calm heads were had.

Yeah, you're right. It should be marked (so that it's not paid twice) and inside the machine.

she did open the machine and laid out the tickets...she claimed she couldn't find mine.. when the supervisor showed up, it seems the ticket was right on top of the pile...she lied..
then when the supervisor pointed it out to the teller...she started with this crap...how do we know its his ticket ? yah, i found the ticket on the floor, or someone else gave it to me.....sheesh...

the broad tried to rip me off, plain and simple !!...so did the waiter...lie cheat and steal
