Gotta say I am loving this. Supporting another jurisdictions ban. Can't run your horses with a beard. Owners can't be happy. All for what many are saying is a non performance enhancer. Is this Horse racings version of Al Capone being locked up for tax evasion?

But if you look at the timeline from 5/9 til 5/17,
even if they did this with the purest of intentions,
their failure on the PR end of it is indefensible.
I don’t know. It seems like you are splitting hairs at this point.

Ya think?

I’m not even sure what the whole argument is at this point. It wasn’t done fast enough? They failed on the PR end somehow? Would coming out with this last Friday been better? Attempting to upstage the weekend? That would have been better for PR?

That's what adults do.

Unless, Dahoss you want me to put those links up here,
so you can falsely accuse me of not admitting my mistakes again.

I'm not apologizing for calling out NYRA for trying to sell
their "looking out for the bettors and the integrity of the sport"
statement as the 1st or primary reason for their action on Monday.

You can't sell that to anyone who has just eye open.
Who is trying to sell you anything? You can put up whatever links you want. Your continued posting as it relates to this speaks volumes.

Keep throwing s.hit against the wall. I’m sure something will stick eventually.

Yeah.....said the 8000+ post guy
It speaks volumes because you’ve been wrong about pretty much everything and only when Steve corrected you did you kind of admit you were wrong.

Even now you’re still going on and on. You’re acting like NYRA kicked your dog or something.

You “called out NYRA,” LOL...how brave of you.

Go back under whatever rock you crawled out of.
