Thank you.. The original post was lauding NYRA for not carding a bunch of maiden claimers, cheap claimers, etc. I was just trying to say that once you look at the PP's, it's not that much better. That doesn't mean it's unplayable, but I was disagreeing with the idea that it's a great card.

Personally, I think you stand on very week ground for someone who speaks authoritatively about a lot of things in the game.

Here we go again. I said the fields are lousy on Wednesday in terms of quality. I don't see why that gets you so irritated. I'm curious.. Why the hell do you assume that I'm not a handicapper, don't watch replays, etc.? What will it take to get you to stop losing your **** at every one of my posts? Should I end each thought with "* pending approval by Andy"?

I really don't care what ground you think I stand on, because I don't claim to have any above average knowledge of the game. However, I have opinions, and just because you back yours up with "I'm Andy Serling, you're not," doesn't mean I'm not going to continue to have them and express them.

That's more BS Hooves. That wasn't what I said at all, and if Joey wasn't so into playing the victim he would have understood what I posted.

My supposed "victim stance" is just me being annoyed that you follow me around the board and pick apart every post I make. It's not hurtful, it's not infuriating.. It's just annoying.

Think Ten Forty has enough speed to clear? I'd lean towards yes, but Never Stop Dreamin and Newmont with the blinks on..

By the way, talk about a race with some disappointing horses.. Newmont cost $340,000, Bomber D Back cost $140,000, Never Stop Dreamin was $75,000, Mackinaw's by Pulpit, Ten Forty's by Hennessy.

BS Joey. You probably looked at the card for two seconds and made some flip comment. Too bad if you don't like being called out for it. However, you make a lot of brash statements around here and barely ever get called out them ( and never by anybody but me ).

I've only looked at the card for a few minutes myself, and so far it looks pretty interesting. The point of my question to you, if you took time away from your usual victim stance, was that if you actually spent time looking at racing around the country you would know that this card is well above average.

OF COURSE COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IT'S A GOOD CARD. I was comparing to other Wednesdays at Belmont, which often have some very good races on them. This card, I think, has none. For example, I was at BEL on May 14, and I felt that THAT was an awesome card.

And I've looked at the card for about two hours now.. Still mediocre, COMPARED TO WHAT'S THERE USUALLY.

About the card, I have looked at it for now 3 hours, and I haven't had the benefit of replays yet but I have to say that I don't see a single 'confident' single.

Considerations would be Myakka(I think this race has a bunch of bad bad horses in there and the first to the lead might win, and even if there is a some BS speed from someone, his outside post will allow him to sit chilly for a little while), or Dancing Tin Man (a little interesting if the pace develops, has some number power)

I do kinda like Pluralcity first time turf but I worry about him getting hooked up with the speed. Pennington is interesting in that race also.

Dancing Tin Man and Hot Table would be where I'd turn to, though the latter has burned some money and will probably on the wrong side of a slow pace again.

You don't want my job, while I do nothing, it is still like a prison, although I don't know what that really feels like, and don't care to find out either

Not single-able in my opinion. . .
