My theory and feelings on Polytrack

#1 10-18-2006, 05:48 PM

A STRONG trend I have seen in the many people I ask opinions of about the Polytrack on a daily basis is that 90% of the people who do NOT like it have what I consider as an ery advanced level of knwoledge when it come to horse racing, and of the people who are advoctaes of Polytrack, about 90% of them have a very elementary knowledge of horse racing and only understand short term, on-the-surface issues...

That is a fast from a general observation I've made, and thats NOT A GOOD THING AT ALL.....that's like having a bunch of naive 18yos having a najority vote on who the next President will be (which is what MTV and P Diddy attempted to do when they had their hidden agenda on trying to get a democrat in office a few years ago with their VOTE OR DIE campaign IMO)...

If you don't understand the game you shouldn't have a lot of weight in the conversation of Polytrack....just my opinion..

Or, how about I just debate with the 10% of people in this industry QUALIFIED to argue on bealf of polytrack because they have an intimate knowledge of this industry.....none of you have shown me that you fit in that category....so yes, I'm probably better argueing with myslef about it until a formidable debater comes about...

From a degenerate gambler's perspective this polycrap sucks. I had to dig in not one, but two trash cans today for tickets.

Then clean up that first post. Because if you do know something about the industry, that was a very sloppy attempt at debating Polytrack. Incredibly sloppy.

I met a guy that knew his Physics backwards and forwards, but when he explained to me that the government had tried to place a chip in his head, and the US currency was produced by Arab nations, his opinions on everything carried quite a bit less weight.

How do you know he was wrong?

There will come a time in the near future where the government will install chips in our bodies to keep track of us.

And it's common knowledge the House of Saud controls our President.

Those that take the chip will rot in hell... that's one of the first signs of the antichrist ruling.

That's pretty f'ing funny..

If Cunningham is worried about his professional future, then he should be/have been prepared to adapt. Like anyone who is business for themselves, REGARDLESS of the industry they are in, the business world around them changes often. I am also self employed in an industry that is very volatile, there are no guarantees, just options, what we do with those options is how we succeed or fail. Being educated and versed in the options is the best way a businessman can be successful.

I'm involved in this industry ON BOTH ENDS.....it'll be easy for me to adapt on one end, but the other end is far more unpredictable....and people who know me understand what I mean...A single person could not be as invested in this game as me.....it can't happen...

I think it can. You're underestimating people.

Far be it for me to chirp in but I'll just say what I know for fact.

People on the whole are resistent to change

Polytrack smells and looks spooky, literally. I have seen it first hand.

In science, it takes time to formulate an intelligent review of a change. In other words, trial and error.

Now for my "Soap Box" statement.

The ones that are shaking in their boots mad about this are worried about how their end of the business will be affected. I can understand that. All those years you have vested in the business, knowing and understanding the ups and downs of breeding, dirt, etc etc..

Now for my "Personal" reflection

The Horse Racing world is too big with too many people in postions of power and large quanities of money to allow things to get "out of hand" concerning this polytrack business. Time will tell the tale. Let it run its course.

Nah, I believe in everythin I wrote and I think my experience carries plenty of wweight for me to argue my position....

You and the others that do it aren't impressing anyone, and it is kind of sad. Most of your posts are done to get a debate going where then you try and "flex your muscles", telling everyone how you are right because you know more. So why even start a thread? Your act is realized by many a poster on here as witnessed the other night. Seriously, you have a lot of good to say, but the constant chest pounding thing is getting to be real worn out.

And, most imprtantly, I PUT MY NAME OUT THERWE AND DON'T HIDE BEHIND A PHONY SCREEN NAME.....If you want to consider yourself as much of an insider, then you puit your name out there and let us know who you are - and then maybe you can teach the public about racig? Frankly, you can call it arrogance or what you will, but I get PMs all of the time with people who apparently aren't as 'advanced as you' who want my opinions on things and say that they learn from what I have to offer.....That is why I post here...So continue to hide behind your screen name and be a hater...

By the way, Did your mom name you DaHoss?..Or is this Michael Dickinson?
