They already have their excuse lined up when BB blows his doors off.

These aren't americans. They don't make up excuses for everything.

Oh I forgot Americans are the only people on the face of the earth that lie. Spare me your bleeding liberal heart.

The Japanese culture isn't an excuse making culture. If you don't know that go and spend some time in Japan. If you don't think the american culture is an excuse making culture you must not live in america. There is an excuse for everything. People take out big mortgages they can't afford and it is not their fault it is the banks fault. People get in accidents while talking on cellphones and it is the cellphone companies fault. American society is the society of excuses.

been to Japan many times and have worked with them for years. about ten years ago i hosted a guest worker from Japan at my house for nearly a year.
if you think they are totally forthcoming you're in a dream world. making excuses? no, but withholding key information in order to save face is standard operating procedure.

I totally agree. It is not an open culture. But they never make excuses. It is not part of their culture.

I am all for holding key information in order to save face. Beats people doing things and then making excuses so they have no accountability.

Sorry I don't live in a "america is right about everything" world. That is why we get involved in stupid wars because the idiots in this country believe anything you tell them and there is no accountability for anything.

Americans make excuses for everything. It is the fattest society in the world and americans blame restaurants for putting too much fat in the food. Hilarious. And smokers sue tobacco companies because they couldn't figure out smoking is bad for you.

Why don't we sue the track if we lose money? It is their fault for allowing us to gamble.

Quiet Chris is clearly an oxymoron.

Decision after the vet advises but not looking too good...



On a different note.. PLEASE STOP THE VITRIOLIC UNPLEASANTRIES... I'm unable to police the Forum adequately from here and am bothered by the tremendous lack of mutual respect being displayed the last several days.

We're on the eve of one of the most exciting afternoons available in racing and I'm amazed that I need to intercede on threads with the above idiocy and yesterday's Fat Man Fandango.

PG '85 better unleash his A-game right quick if he wants to keep pace.

This dude is hotter than Chase Utley and Chipper Jones.

Chris, c'mon man I'm not even through this thread yet and you are digging yourself into a hole here. I kind of see where you are coming from, but save it for the winter when we have nothing else to talk about. We are a day away from the Belmont Stakes and I don't need to be reminded that I need to lose 20 lbs. Damn beer, it's the breweries fault I'm fat.

What a great idea a class action against NYRA

[Travis Stone]

Okay, let's try and bring this thread back around.

Love Big Brown, or hate Big Brown. Love Casino Drive, or hate Casino Drive. No matter which side of the fence you're on, Casino Drive not running in the race blows.

Spare me the convenient baloney about how Big Brown would have dusted him anyway. Nonsense. It's a horse race, it's not a foregone conclusion. Even if Big Brown wins by 34 lengths tomorrow, you'll never convince me its a foregone conclusion, nor should you think it.

Think of these connections... they made this race infinitely more interesting by brining this horse to America. How often does this happen for our big stage? Not very. They bring him here, he wins his first race like a good thing, gets the juices flowing for a potential Triple Crown showdown with Big Brown, and then boom, the day before the darn horse race, the horse is off.

That sucks.
