Where i come from, if you talk it then be prepared to eat it. I'll put up my selections as i did the other day at the spa in the selections section. And if im wrong and someone calls me out then I will tip my hat and say "good day". Its called being a man. This oracle is a little child.

And if you dont like it, dont respond. But please dont whine.

Guys, lets let the thread die, I am sure Steve will take care of it

[Danzig]

lol
i'm not the one starting a thread like this, but I'M the whiner??

i don't like i told you so threads from anyone, directed towards anyone, nor do i like 'i'm right' threads. big egos bother me. and in that i am very consistent.

true scavs...definitely not a racing thread, which is much more enjoyable.

Well ive looked through a couple of Oracle's "i told you threads" and i havent seen you rail against him in any of them. Yeah, real consistent.

There isnt anything "whiney" about this thread. I was just calling someone out that makes a habit out of calling everyone else out. But i guess you shouldnt call out the lord of the flies.

oracle and i have been posting for years, i long ago gave that up--it's fruitless. believe me, he and i have had some tremendous go rounds over the years.

and now i guess i'll call it a day on this thread. it bears no fruit either. by all means, continue. maybe you'll make headway. but i doubt it.

Really? I've heard Rupert say he was wrong many times, usually about a horse he liked or didn't like, but sometimes about other aspects of racing. It's one of the reasons I respect him so much. Do you really find it so humiliating to admit you were wrong about something you said. Apparently oracle does.

Oracle in the past week has said that Bute can be administered on race day in California. He has yet to correct that error, despite saying he would talk to a trainer who would know.

Oracle posted that he would admit he was wrong about Songster if the sheets came back showing Songster's last race was on a par with other races. Still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled.

And now the one referred to in this thread, where oracle assured us that JV would never go 0-5. Instead of ackowledging he was wrong, he makes a ridiculous comment about "miniscule" number of races. (most riders would kill to have 25 mounts at Saratoga in 5 days, with as many live ones as JV had).

I'm not here to bug oracle. I'm here to talk horses, share info, learn something. But there's a pattern here of oracle dishing it out but not taking any responsibility for his own errors or promises. And yes, it bothers me, but not enough to keep me up at night.

Well Said!

Dont look now but Garret Gomez just won another one...his third winner off the day and it was a theft on the lead. Nice ride Garrett!

Henny Hughes better not lose or it will be 0-6 days.

Gomez just rode his fourth winner of the day. He had 3 winners yesterday. That means he's won 7 races in two days. That's not too bad.
