Don't even bother, this person doesn't use PPs and would have no idea that Smart Enough and Heros Reward have won most of the bigger turf sprints around in the last few years. Nor would they know that Starfish Bay ran 5fs at GP in :53 and change, even if the timer is out of whack.

Coming from you it makes sense that a 14 horse field and a 12 horse field is "boring as hell."

The only people who wouldn't find these cards interesting are people who don't bet. Period. End of story.

I bet overseas racing all the time. Good, evenly matched horses. Maybe you "cream your jeans" over a race with more than 5 horses in it but quantity does not mean quality. Shooting ducks in a barrel is not that exciting to me. And if the only question in a race is if the favorite is going to have a bad trip I prefer to skip it rather than hope for the worst.

I don't care about 70K races, especially on what is suppossed to be a premier stakes day. Why would I? My money goes on good horses. I have time.

This is just a silly statement. Do you have any idea how much larger the pools are today and tomorrow on these "crappy" horses than they will be at Belmont Park next Thursday? So what if a 70k stakes race isn't your cup of tea - if you're an astute handicapper, you should be drooling over opportunities like today and tomorrow.

I don't have HRTV and so didn't see the race but read the horses are okay.

Any word on Leparoux?

He went to the hospital is what they JUST said on TVG. I heard about an hour ago on HRTV Diva Deelite may have a shoulder injury.

Do you have any idea what the pick 3s paid today? I am VERY confident passing was the right decision. I never said anything about not playing any race tomorrow.

See if you can make even less sense with your next post. I believe in you.
