Default Race 4 Result at California

1) Yes I am bitter

2) I wish I could request a f'n drug test on Ghosttrapper, there is no doubt in my mind that something is going on there, to go and do those fractions and win the race, on this track, is absolutely impossible

I wish I bet him win and place instead of keying him top and bottom in the exacta with the favorites.

Knapp is a great trainer. At least that is what Scuds told me.

Every once in a while, he has a couple good days.Top of the jar comes off.Fields too short in the 1st 4.So,I don't know the horse,because I didn't look at the race.I recognize the pattern though.

Drug tester is on vacation for a couple days.Scav,believe me,it messed people up that didn't even play the race.Looked like track may play for speed.....Didn't.That race is like an island sticking out.

He often struggles to use the correct verb tense.

I tell ya Scuds, that race pissed me off something fierce, ****ed my whole day up. I played a $50 P3 in the race before singling the 1 horse who won, and I had both logicals in this middle leg, and I had the other two logicals in the 3rd leg (4 and the horse that won the 7 i think). Beating that 7/5 automatically makes this payout $50-$70 as the DD's were paying real good given the horse was only 5/2. And then get beat like that. And it wasn't like that horse was on a lonely lead going 24/49, that **** I can handle, but when they go 23, 46.2 to start, they should be coming back to the field.

No focus whatsoever today and it cost me dearly. Plus, it is impossible to keep track of multiple tracks on Twin Spires, the platform is absolute garbage. Video crashing, damn website takes forever, don't konw what your balance is after you make a bet.

And Scuds, track is messed up now, speed has been holding better the last couple days, I consider it fair now, it certainly not the major bias it was about 8 days ago because that Knapp would have came to a crawl then, at those fractions, regardless of how many of the good stuff was given.

Court is a very good jockey on junk horses close to the lead,and he needed to win a race or 2. Who knows what KNAPP is doing? All I can say is I have seen this pattern from him.When he is doing miserable,all the sudden he has a couple very live days in a row.They stand out like a sore thumb.With so many conflicting interests involved,there really are no easy races

That is exactly why I only use Twin Spires for the tracks Youbet doesn't have. Currently just Gulfstream.
