This is a good point. Obviously there are a lot of people here who are very familiar with each other and it's annoying when someone just swoops in and says, "Oh man, I took down that early Pick 4 at Saratoga, the Chad Brown horse was a cinch." Your first inclination is to tell them, really, could you have mentioned that somewhere before the race, jackass?

However, when someone comes on and says (i.e. Pat Cummings' superfecta in the Derby), "I made the bet of a lifetime and got very lucky" it's a lot tougher to say to him, you redboarding dog turd.

So, basically, IMO, it's whether you go about it in a disingenuous way. Do I have animosity towards any people who come on and say they hit something, particularly something big? No. But if they do it in a way that comes off as "look at me, I'm the best handicapper evar" then I will certainly get annoyed because the same way they posted that they won, they could have posted who they liked.

No, that's called standing by your team despite them being a disappointment since Day 1 of the franchise existing. Good luck the rest of the way.

I had Indian Charlie and Congaree both at 150/1 for the Derby after they broke their maidens.

Is that a redboard?

it's certainly not a shock...well, maybe the 1k, but not who you bet.

No, but that would explain why he lost.

He was joking.

I don't think he got into racing until like 2 years ago, when he built that OTB in his basement.

Didn't Gander claim to be Kentness?

i really wish people didn't jump on others when they post a winning pick. i think it frightens people away from posting. anything that helps to learn would be...helpful.

besides, for many of us, this is the one place we can talk about racing. if you can't talk about it here-what's left?

If so, he's got a great imagination. I was thinking about that character the other day, not sure why.
