Gulfstream Park

Is now running their races on time. Good to see them making it a little easier on bettors. They have like 10 other things to fix, but still.

Not sure I’ve ever seen worse cards day in and day out at Gulfstream.

Embarrassing really.

BUT, compared to NY, you get racing FIVE days per week versus 4. You get 10 races a day versus 9 or 8. You get turf racing. You don't get racing days canceled for weather.

Let's see, we have had ten race cards most days since coming to Aqueduct. We had turf racing through last Friday. We cancelled once. The cards in NY have been full of big fields and plenty of opportunities. Surely you could have found a better comparison.

The reality is, the racing at Gulfstream has been unappealing. Perhaps it will improve, but there is a reason Aqueduct has "outhandled" them the majority of days since the "Championship Meet" began.

They should cut back to 4 days a week if this is what they are going to give bettors.

More crap races isn’t a plus.

Blame the breeding industry. They are the ones that are breeding the crap horses, yes?

I’m trying to figure out what your point is. Are you saying the racing at Gulfstream is good? Have you looked at the races at all?

Not saying it is good. Just a comparison to NY. I think they both have their plusses and minuses

First of all, the thread was about Gulfstream, but for some reason you needed to make it about NYRA. Second of all, you made a poor argument, as the racing has been far better overall in NY, even now.

I didn't make it about NYRA, just made a comparison of both and what each has to offer. You are the one who made it about NYRA and took it personally. All I was trying to point out was how compared to NY, Gulfstream has some other things to offer that NY does not at this time of year. I never mentioned that one was better than the other, so Lighten up Francis. It's just a thread on a forum.

Rule in internet posting....when someone says "lighten up Francis" they have lost.

I didn't take anything personally. I was just pointing out how wrong you were and why. Thanks for understanding that and admitting it.

Sure they do. I’m just not sure what NY has to do with anything. This is “the championship meet.” It’s basically 4 sh.it cards a week a 1 good card.

8th race today Mimina’s Team is 11-1 going into the gate. 5-1 coming out of the gate and 7/2 a quarter mile into the race. The scumbag riding her looked around under both shoulders as she glided up to the lead turning for home and then decided to start riding as she was swallowed up midstretch.

Who knows what the hell is really going on in these pools or on the track but that race was pretty fishy.

[Dahoss]

I want to not despise jockeys and then I see Tyler Gaffalione’s overconfident ride on The Extravagant Kid in the 9th today and I realize they are useless. You can’t sit like a statue until the 1/8 pole and get beat...period.

[Dahoss]

Strong card at Gulfstream today if you like moron riders and sh.it races.

[Dahoss]

Watching riders defer to Leparoux on the front end is incredible. I’ve seen it all now.
