The worst take down in history?

This DOES NOT happen in every race every day. In fact it's quite rare.

Had the #2 maintained a straight path none of this discussion would matter.

IMO the stewards made a tough but correct call.

You might want to take a look at the following Vic:

and then come back with some similar BS to explain why THAT horse stayed up and the one yesterday came down. Convince me that yesterday's was much more serious, Vic.

You must not watch many headons, huh?

Oh, I'm sure I can come up with many more like that one (this just happened to be one I'd commented on).

I watch every head on every day.

Why is it BS if I have an opinion?

Why would you write such a post?

Any coherent explanation why THAT horse wasn't taken down, Vic?

I mean, it's obvious it should've been. I realize you're EMBARRASSED that it wasn't and that the one yesterday was AND you're left trying to defend the actions of IDIOTS.

I understand, Vic.

It's cool.

I mean, if you were to run the headon of the 2 races for RETARDS, they'd be able to notice the difference. It's REALLY THAT BAD.

I'm not defending anyone. I have an opinion about yesterdays DQ. Don't have time to re-visit the past one. I'm sure I posted my opinion at the time.

But I think it's very important that you, and the stewards, revisit the other one. Especially given your comments that horses shouldn't be all over the track or take the path of others. Unless these incidents are compared, there's really little hope of any consistency.

They don't think that horse (Chantal fouled) could of gotten up. Most people don't share your opinion of who would of won (if no foul had taken place.)

"Me" and the stewards? Since when did I become the watchdog for the fans and the CHRB?

I'm just a blowhard out of work announcer trying to hustle mounts for my jock.

All I " Need" to do is have a tasty brew. And chill.

Sounds like you've already had a few, given your 'circular' arguments, Vic.

What sucks, is you're at the head of the class when it comes to racetrack employees.

Than fans don't have a 'watchdog'. It's just the stewards doing what they want, when they want to, with no eye towards consistency. And basically telling the fans to shove it.

And, you really shouldn't be drinking, given your recent episode.
