It's a time-tested tactic. If you've got nothing, call people names, make an eyeliner joke, and pretend that it makes you even remotely close to being right.
A sissy saying I'm crying and whining. Classic.

He's got the highest winning percentage by 6% and you're DEFENDING him. Either you're brain dead or you're planning on working in the industry...oh wait...you've already started in the industry.

NEVERMIND.

I have no love for Catalano being here and winning the way he's winning. I've been betting less this year because I don't enjoy playing his horses at short prices, and I've yet to be confident in playing against them.

I'm not "defending" him, I'm pointing out the bloody obvious facts that continue to elude you in regards to his horses mostly towering over the fields they are facing.

And you're once again oblivious to the fact that they're not the only ones doing this and they are CRUSHING every trainer in the nation in win percentage.

Sorry but it's not black and white on every issue.

It doesn't need to be.

My take on this is no more black & white then seeing a huge number with limited starters who are for the most part legit, short-priced favorites grabbed up with essentially unlimited capital and nearly zero regard for whether they win or lose money at a meet, and assuming they cheat, which is what you've done.

I'll stick with backing it up with some logical analysis, and you stick with "43% OMGZ" and we'll just call it even.

These races aren't interesting,or competitive. Whether you like these guys or not, it's not good for this industry to be running races for trainers/owners (instead of for the players.) These races are about as useful as the qualifying races they have in harness. From an entertainment value point of view
( which doesn't seem important in this industry) they are nothing. That's a problem. You're not gunna grow a fan base if people are bored at the track. Their supposed to pay these people to compete. If they don't force them into a spot where they must compete, then it's basically giving money out for doing nothing useful.

If you leave out winning maidens, Smooth Air is the first horse Stutts has won with when up in class since, I believe, 2004. He must be doing something. I'm thinking his FOY win and FL Derby 2nd are good for him being a short number in his next start. I look forward to betting against the horse.
