You see, this is exactly what is wrong with the sport, right here. You're not giving us enough information to go on and certainly not offering it fast enough for us to move on with our lives with a minimum of disruption.
Newest clique? Is that all we have to go on? What does this "new clique" entail, kind sir?
As you work for NYRA, who so clearly clutch on to the vital information we crave the way Golem did his "Precious" in the Rings Trilogy, let me be the modern day Prometheus (sorry Frankenstein) who brings fire to mere mortals.
After a quick run-through of the posts on this thread from the two charter members, here are the membership requirements for what I have dubbed the "What Just Happened?" clique:
(a) must have a rubber neck
(b) must have a lax sensitivity to the dimension of time, such that it is believed that all information is instantaneous and complete when called for
(c) must be suspected of trampling the poor man at the Long Island Wal-Mart on Friday
(d) must have had Win Only bets on Seeking The Gold in the Haskell, Travers, BC Classic, and Met Mile
(e) must have no access to result charts or track reports from various racing publications (in print or via the internet)
(f) must believe that Tom Durkin is the Word and that all Life fails to "happen" until He speaks of its "happening"
(g) must accept being told its "raining" when actually being pee-ed upon if it means that "everything is OK"
(h) must consume copious quantities of amphetamines
and...really the only one that matters:
(i) must be pissed that they're not in the loop
