I don't know man. I've been watching races since 1984, and for about half those years, I went to the track every day.

At some point in time I learned to tell the difference between a horse being hurt and a horse blowing a turn. In my eyes, it was ridiculously obvious that this horse was rank and blew the turn. This wasn't something like the 2006 Preakness after all, where the horse that got pulled up was equally obviously injured.

Maybe you need to watch a few more races to learn to process and believe what your eyes are telling you?

I mean really, I'm flabbergasted how anyone with any experience betting horse racing could be so utterly without a clue.

Oh, and does that mean everyone else who posted about this incident before official word came back that he was okay is also a dick? Or did you just reserve that for me for some weird reason?

Hmmm. I don't buy it. As I just mentioned, you didn't call anyone else a dick, especially the person who started the other thread.

I think you called me a dick because you are frustrated with something.

That, or you have some sort of Internet version of Tourette's syndrome.

Yes, it is much more humorous when a horse finishes up the track, which is when something might actually be physically wrong with a horse. I laugh my ass off every time a horse gets distanced!!

Classless? Who is the one that called someone a fugging dick on here?

And what history are you referring to? The history of talking sense? Of making fun of PG1985? Of trying to be helpful to people?

Do tell!

"Eightyfiveinafifty blew the first turn and crashed through the outer rail of the inner track, hurdled the outer rail of the outer track and wasn't corraled at Gate 6."

I think the horse was just foreshadowing his future career as a steeplechaser.

Im my opinion, the NYRA hit a walk off, grand slam homerun, here. The NYRA product has been inept for some time, (decades) and now they have an incident they can/might/probably, milk.

Degeneratates/psychophants/ hardcore chronic losers and others will
have someting to stew over, but why bet this circuit in the winter, or ever.
Rather be flogged!

This thread is not about the hiring of BTW or the choice of showing old 70's and 80's replays on MSG during snow cancel days.

Aren't you on the wrong type of message board to be attempting to solicit that kind of thing?

In a way, having to read some of the opinions on here is a form of flogging.

Seems to me there has been excellent value this winter, did you see what the early pk4 paid?

I didn't play this weekend but there too many times where there are 5 horses and nothing pays tax money. I mean how much can the all Fav Ramon Dominguez pick 3, 4 pay? Maybe that's changed I wouldn't know.

$2 P4 payouts the last 8 days of AQU racing:

$1,646
$15,364

$686
$67

$219
$189

$5,075
$723

$172
$39

$13,918
$252

$2,117
$436

$6,576
$853

If you exclude the 2 extremes ($13k/$15k highs and $67/$39 lows), the average P4 payoff the last 2 weeks is about $1,450.

Including the extremes, it would be close to $3,000.

none of that means squat! the heavy fave didn't win, so nyra sucks...or something like that.

The Dominguez factor works both ways, sure it creates a lot of underlays on horses he is riding, but it also creates overlays on other horses in the race which can often turn into nice scores. As Steve has pointed out, the value has been there at the Big A over the winter no worse than any other time of year.

OK so you don't like NYRA, and that's your opinion. But, how does a broken bit turn into a walk off grand slam for NYRA and in what way are they going to be able to milk this?
