I'm sure you have given out some bad picks before, who doesn't in this game? You actually gave me the 8 the other day when I already bet the 12, who won and the 8 finished well up the track.

You're not going to be perfect all the time.

I'm just saying, I can handle crap when I post picks, but obviously some will be winners and some will be losers, we all have that so why attack someone?

Nobody is attacking you. You are taking this completely the wrong way.

First of all, I can't figure out why you seem to be taking this personally. Nobody here is criticizing you.

This relates to the tout from the other day, and today's example shows the complete randomness of racetrack info. It was totally random that they were right the other day. It will happen occasionally. But, for the most part, backstretch info is garbage and misleading.

Do you have any idea how many barns like their horses in any given race?

I completely understand when you say barn talk is for the most part garbage, just thought the whole facebook prediction thread would stir up some good post seeing as how it "luckily" worked the first time. If you bet Alaazo and then Goldsville, you would still be up money.

Im surprised that he didn't break down the way he was running (or lack there of) towards the wire. It looked like he was dragging his front legs.

If he ever wins on the dirt, it will be going shorter, and/or against claimers. He's just not much horse. He certainly has finished poorly going a mile the last two times. And, both times he had pretty easy trips.
