![]() I Know Most Of The Bloggers Here Don't Like Me . And After This Post I'll Be Banned For Life. However I Love Horse Racing And Have Watched It Since September 1974.
Just Take A Moment And Think, Not One Person On The Radio, Web Sites , Writers ,the Pros. Nobody Has Said This. They Have Said Things Like If Big Brown Is 80% He'll Still Win. If He Is Not 100% What An Injustice To Big Brown , Racing Fans And Horse Racing. We Will Be On Worlwide Telecast Millions Watching, And Nbc Will Talk About Nothing But The Quarter Crack, And Show Picturesand All The Stuff Smut That The National Inquirer Would Like To Show. God Forbid Big Brown Comes Up Lame, Or Limping Or Worst. It Will Set Horse Racing Back 100 Years. We Just Had A Big Problem In The Last Month With Peta And All The Liberal No-nothing About Horse Racing Commentors Wanting To Ban Racing. Now I Would Like To Ask The Vet Doing The Work On Big Brown. If This Was Another Race, If This Was Another Horse. Claimer, Alw , And The Owners Or Trainer Ask You If They Could Run In 14 Days What Would You Tell Them? I Think He Would Say Give Him A Couple Of More Weeks Or Time Off. Nothing Heals A Wound Like Time. The Pressure To Run In The Triple Crown , The Tv Coverage, Big Brown Will Never Have Another Shot At This Has Caused Everyone Including Dutrow To Go Against Their Gut Feeling. Its Wrong To Ask Big Brown To Run If He Is Not 100%. That Is The Injustice. His Record Reputation Is On The Line. But Big Money, Tv And Greed And Our Own Excitment To Want To See The Triple Crown Be Run Has Clouded Our Judgement. I Know Nothing About Being A Vet, A Trainer , A Jockey, Hell I'm Afraid Of Horses, But After 34 Years, I Know If The Horse Isn't Right Then It's An In Justice To Him. If He Loses They Will Blame The Quartercrack. I Hope He Wins . I Have Been On His Bandwagon In All My Posts Since Fla Derby. With Everything On The Line Money Fame Glory Immortality, I Still Think It's Wrong To Ask Any Horse To Run Less Then 100%. But We Humans Really Don't Care. Its' All About The Money. God Forbid If He Comes Up Lame... So Long Everybody |

![]() I get what you are saying. I really do. But horses are athletes and most athletes play when they are not 100%. Plus the race is 1 week away, who knows how he will be.

You may have watched horse racing since 1974 but obviously you have not learned much about it or horses in general for that matter. Please stop!! |

![]() remember the race at tampa bay and the horse in the paddock was in distress
fron heat? barkley tagg must have seen him the vet must have seen him hell even steve byk mentioned it on atr he seen the horse was more than a little wash-out from the heat. did anyone bring it to the attention of the owners to scratched the horse? was they afraid to ask them or barkley? what a bum deal for the bettors you cannot see the horse up close on the internet. this is what i'm talking about, nobody cares in these stakes races because of the money. if a horse is out of form coming off lay-off sure they are not 100% fit but racing them into shape is find . but if a horse has a injury or sick like a fever it takes time, even if medications make them feel ,look and eat better. |

No doubt. I think a PG vs. sdjcom pay per view Belmont debate could be a big winner. I may have to line them up for one of the Monday shows at Siro's that I host.

You're taking the wrong approach. Think of it as a Jackson Pollack painting. You're not supposed to read it......just stare at it and soak it in.
