7/11 (BEL): Man o' War (G1); Guaranteed $350k P4

[my miss storm cat]

Quijano looked really good last month (at San Siro) after being kinda disappointing at Nad al but God... anyone remember the ten in a row he won a few years back?

I'm glad Starke has the mount.

Haven't looked at pp's yet but he's my sentimental pick.

The fields for the past two runnings of the Man O War would have never been so strong with its old spot on the calendar. One of the best stakes moves ever for NYRA.

Is Campo out of town? I notice they've actually carded a race beyond 9F on the turf at BEL.

He said something about a Trackus Field Trip sponsored by The Fat Man. I cannot find a story to confirm these reports.

Yeah

The Fat Man is well entrenched with his buddy Trakus over at WO. I get all the 5F, 5.5F, 6F, 6.5F, 7F... 10F, etc. races I can handle over there. Now, there's someone who understands that racing is MORE interesting when races are carded over different distances (even slightly different ones). Campo would be well served to follow him.

All that accurate data is icing.

Not to mention all that accurate data.

We looked into at LAD, it's very costly... hard to justify at this point in time.

One could argue making it a "league" purchase like replay systems in the NFL or other various technologies if horse racing were healthy.

You gotta give me a couple of minutes to edit my posts. FatMan Productions is a ONE man operation.

You know why it's hard to justify? Because all the know it all horseplayers are focusing their efforts on all the other peripheral ****. It's all about lowering takeout, cleaning up the drugs, the ADW issues, etc.

There's only ONE issue for the horseplayer: accurate data. If you get accurate data and still can't win, you shouldn't be in the game. Unfortunately, and probably, all those begging for all the other changes probably realize this and, as a group, horseplayers will never make it their number one priority. Which means that tracks won't either. I mean, let's face it, what would tracks rather do, pay for Trakus or lower takeout?
