I couldn't agree more. That was totally ridiculous. But, I give CC credit. I guess when he wants to get out of the gate he can.

Race 5 was won by a horse dueling for the lead, the rest were pure wire jobs.
Whats tough is that as the jocks start to ride the bias, you see horses who have never been anyplace near the lead being ridden like quarter horses out of the gate. if they make the lead, they can win, if they are forced to chase they are taken so far out of their usual game that they often falter when challenged and run far worse than they should.

Oh I am!!!
When teh track evens out, think of the overbet bias riders who show big wins who will fold!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think of the closers/stalkers with bad lines who will be dismissed at prices!!!!!
Of course, thats assuming we ever get a fair track again.

the best betting opportunities around in these days of sharp players...
i've added all of the runners from today that i feel may have been compromised to my database. i'll try to post when they run back.
