You're not going to be perfect all the time.

First of all, I can't figure out why you seem to be taking this personally. Nobody here is criticizing you.

This relates to the tout from the other day, and today's example shows the complete randomness of racetrack info. It was totally random that they were right the other day. It will happen occasionally. But, for the most part, backstretch info is garbage and misleading.

Do you have any idea how many barns like their horses in any given race?

I completely understand when you say barn talk is for the most part garbage, just thought the whole facebook prediction thread would stir up some good post seeing as how it "luckily" worked the first time. If you bet Alaazo and then Goldsville, you would still be up money.

not a frat guy, but after a real good Red Lobster dinner (doesn't come often for a college student) I'm ready to step back down into my price range with some Busch Light! Classy I know.

I am really not a Red Lobster fan...but those f'n biscuits do have some disturbing yet magical qualities...

Facebook Tip:

Feel like Lance Armstrong yet get drunk at the same time while playing the "Tour De Franzia". Break up into teams of 4, with each team having a box of Franzia wine. For fun, every team has a stationary bike and you take turns with members of your team riding the bike and chugging the box wine, first team to finish their box is the winner!

Ok...I just caught this...but there is no such thing as a "real good Red Lobster dinner"

there isn't even a such thing as a "lousy Red Lobster dinner"

That sh*t they try and pass off as seafood is unedible....at best.
