Horse racing to me is getting much more difficult to be as involved with nowadays for me personally. The list goes on and on. I find it harder and harder to ignore the people involved from the Horseplayers at the "Parler" @Paceadvantage to the hypocritical owners who are all about loving the horses while placing those same horses with trainers who are known and proven cheats. The Eric Guillot's and those with the same views that simply are smarter than he is and don't out themselves on Social media and those that actually come to his defense on Social Media. The media itself that glorifies trainers who are proven cheats and turns the other cheek to big money regardless of their past atrocities. Some of us will never forget the Saudis involvement in 9-11 but this industry will gladly accept their greenbacks and glorify them.I guess I shouldn't be surprised, **** many of the above will gladly support those that will actually sell these same folks weapons. Anything for a buck.

I am glad that I am not in position to have to sell my soul for a paycheck because it frightens me that I may not be strong enough to NOT make the right decision if I was faced with the same.
Ain't that the truth.
There's hardly any racing chatter over there at all, aside from the numerous SELECTION threads that offer no analysis, just numbers.
90% of the threads are political, and 99% of the posts in those threads are far right in nature.
It's a mess

Biden administration to release report that Saudi Crown Prince approved the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But hey, the Saudi Cup was “fun” and ABR got to send a bunch of unqualified people over to take pictures.

Nothing to see here.
