When's the last time someone posted that a card was great on a non major event day? You know it's nothing special as well as I but I'm not going to act like someone just shot my dog. It's the worst Saturday card there this year. One of them had to be. And on the criteria that started the thread, the Del Mar card has one more allowance race and the rest is pretty much all the same, so it really isnt all that different.

The the open claiming races though are pretty good betting events, just because its a claimer does not make it something a bad race. I actually would prefer a good claimer to a state bred mdn.

Who is acting like there dog was shot? I don't see a single post like that in the thread. I guess you feel Saratoga was being slighted. Maybe the guy was planning a trip to Saratoga and not Delmar, I don't know. Should we talk about the Thistledown and Presque Isle cards in a thread about a Saratoga card too?

I defend NYRA more than 99% of the people that post on the internet, but I can call a stinker a stinker if I want to do so.

Nope. Just sometimes the complaining gets tiring. We seem to be in an era where every event has to be the best ever or every athlete must be or they suck. The card isnt great. I just say "so what" and go on. Besides, what type of race have we all made or biggest hits on? For me it's maidens, so the card has some of that. Others love claimers. Those that like allowances and stakes are out of luck unfortunately. So it goes.
