1) I am sure very few think they are going to train for Frank. He isn't exactly holding auditions for trainers. Give me a break. 2) If the racing is so bad and they hate it so much, why are they so concerned with stall space reductions, which would not happen anyway. Where do you think up these ridiculous things? Where are all the announcements that you are talking about leaving for California. You know that is an outright lie. What are they waiting on. Pletcher plans to have some out there by Nov. 1. Pletchers decision to go West was based on numerous things (track safety) and Michael McCarthy (KY Based) will be running the show. He will have just as many horses at Gulfstream as he always has and his top 2yr olds are headed to gulfstream. Pletcher's parents live in Ocala and the Gulfstream winters are instrumental to his operation. Last edited by georgewashington : 09-22-2006 at 05:37 PM.

Hmmmm, George Washington, the horse, was sold by Lael Stables. Where have we seen this before? Gets a little tiresome.

You want to take up this discussion with me in person, I will be at Belmont tomorrow morning. The brother and his friend will be with me if they get up. And, yeah, I do know a little about George. Just a little. I am well aware of who you are Andy. I wonder where you are on this issue. "As a racing fan, I want to be sure that whoever is running racing in New York is interested in racing. I want somebody like NYRA, somebody who's proven to me in the past that they've at least done their best to run racing." Tell your annoying friend to stop putting words in TP's mouth. TP said he was going due to the poly. I think his own words mean a little more than some guy who barely knows him. You want to meet tomorrow, send a PM to my brother. I am taking them out to dinner now, but if you PM him I am sure he will give me the information when he checks the computer when we get back. Last edited by georgewashington : 09-22-2006 at 05:59 PM.

A couple thoughts on your comments.... You say, "Big brother knows quite a bit more than little brother." I say that's cool. Of course, in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man IS king! You say NY Jokers are bashing MEC? Well, you're preious MEC has had ONE PROFITABLE QUARTER IN THE LAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS! They were positive $.02/share in Q1,'06. You have money invested in MEC? And you know more than Little Brother? If you put in 10k 3 years ago, you now have $4k. You think slots are going to save Gulfstream? Not this year and probably not next year. There is NO WAY there will be slot machines at GP this year. And when there are slot machines, all the Blue-haired gals and old guys are going to go to the Dog Track a mile away. Frank didn't think of that. Hopefully you can get your lil brother up in time for cartoons and Fruit Loops. Did MEC send you a special dividend when they made $.02 Q1?

QUOTE] I would be interested to here you reason why you say NO WAY will there be slots at GP this year. I just had a conversation yesterday with someone heavily involved with the FTBOA that says as of right now slots are going to happen very soon.

You are 100% correct Roundpen. They are all New Yorkers who post lies. They are just jealous because their state can't get their act together. There is nothing that can stop slots now. My brother said the financing went through and they would never have gotten it if there were not going to be slots. It is done.

New lawsuits to be started. I know I read the dog tack and GP say 11/1. I will not believe it until I see it. Then I will be glad to say I'm wrong.

Please stop talking about something that you know nothing about. You sound like an idiot. The dog track will have problems because their handle is so low and the 50% will kill them. The racetrack will thrive. The purses will go up and the deal has already been cut with the horseman. The state has already anticipated on getting their money in next years budget. Politicians have the pork already dished out. I do like you quote at the bottom. I doubt you really are a Jones. I see the point, but if you are PM me and let me know where your family comes from.

Most people know who I am....you didn't need to reprint a quote from me that appeared in Thoroughbred Times to prove it. Who's my " annoying friend "? The only person on this board that is a friend of mine is Steve Byk. I take it you didn't mean him.
