The worst take down in history?

booner · #1 08-01-2009, 08:03 AM

Watch Fandicapping on TVG tonight. Ken Rudolph is going to have a steward involved with this decision on his show.

I'm sure it will be a straightforward, hard core Q&A session......

Don't play SoCal tracks,end of story.This happens all the time out there.Another horse even LOOKS at another horse and he is taken down.New York would not have even looked at that.Ingrid Fermin and friends at work.Play a different track.

Why take that attitude? Are 15:1 shots so rare to come by? If it's not evident by my posts, I bet this horse as well. Would've collected on the double and win. But I won big elsewhere yesterday, so I just take it as yet another way to be right and still lose.

I'll be damned if I give up DMR (or any of the CALI) tracks because of a single screwup by the stewards. This is like a homerun being erroneously determined to be foul by the umps. Someone who hits 5 a year doesn't get over it; someone hitting 50 a year shrugs it off. Same **** with all the PAST POSTING.

Keep swinging for the fences.

It happens to me quite a bit in California and I always seem to come out on the short end with their lack of consistancy.

Their general mindset is pretty consistent. They will overlook a foul if the horse who wins is obviously the best horse. They appear inconsistent, because they overlook nearly all of Gomez' fouls(regardless who was the best horse.) On the other side, they go out of their way to punish Espinoza, and Nakatani (he has quite a mouth.) If they didn't know the jocks who rode, then they would be much more consistent.

Check out today's 3rd at AP. The 2nd horse clearly takes the path of the 5 (who finished 3rd) and should've come down. I got shut out trying to play the number and considered myself lucky when they started showing the headon. But it stayed up. Compare this to the trivial **** last night. It'll get you sicker.

Seems there is a God, after all. Sort of.

ha ha ha

If you were watching last night, you know the frustration for me and 58 Flat Matt was very high. He picked the 2 outright to win and then you had the Pick 4 Posses (4 nimrod California Girls) hit their Pick 4 when the 9 went up. I wanted to hurl.

58 Matt is an individual that simply doesn't like for horses to be taken down. Same goes for Mr. B. Same goes for the majority of people that "cover" horse racing. What that brilliance results in is guys like Theriot thinking he can move laterally without even caring whether somebody might be there. You don't think so? What are the chances that Theriot saw the Delta Jackpot a few years ago? Pretty good, right? How much did they allow Gomez to do towards the end of that race? He and Borel destroyed another horse, and they let those two guys deadheat for the win. Pretty much nobody cared about that. A guy like Theriot grows up seeing that, and don't think it's not a big reason why Douglas' career is over. For anybody to think that the 2 horse should be allowed to do what he did last night? You're wrong. You're supporting cheating, and you're supporting dangerous riding. This was a foul. They will overlook it if the horse who fouls is drawing away impressively (or if Gomez committed the foul in question.) The 2 was not drawing away. He did not do that. The margin was decreasing. Therefore, he comes down.

LOL...Weren't the 1st words out of that stupid blonde's mouth "I'm always right" ...I missed seeing the race live, but I saw this other mess going on. I don't know which is worse. TVG giving those 4 a mic, or TVG having these commercials for Doc Bottom' s "A" spray.

Thanks for that link. Now I've got the name for my FFL team. I suppose the "A" spray comes in handy for those who can't find the time for a daily bath or shower.

So asinine to have chicks in sundresses asking those softball questions.

#13 08-01-2009, 09:23 PM

I too got screwed last night in the finale costing me the pick 4. Now what I would like to ask the stewards was how different was Friday nights finale vs. what Solis did at the top of the stretch in the feature today to Gomez and his mount. Nothing said or mentioned in the feature today, still pissed about that DQ last night.

NoLuvForPletch · #14 08-02-2009, 02:45 AM

just got home and watched the "grilling" of the stew on tvg...geez, he even seemed pretty wishy washy on the whole thing...it was a bad freaking call...they got caught up in the whole he started in the 9 path and ended up in the 3 path thing...but, while he was doing so the other horse was voluntarily doing the same thing.
