Bernadini/the reason for my doubts

[blackthroatedwind]

Anyone that knows ANYTHING about watching races knows very clearly that Songster did not get a good ride and his loss, in the context of this race, is due to a premature move. But, that decision can only be formed through objectivity, something which is SEVERLY lacking in this thread. What this thread IS filled with is a lot of losing horseplayer rant.

Here's what I think, the author of this thread had a tip on a 43-1 shot, bet nothing to win on him while playing Pick-4s and singling Songster. Instead of pehaps reexamining the overall intelligence of that, it has been concluded that Tom Albertrani is, among many things, a liar and an overrated trainer.

Sounds like a sane and logical progression to me.

Here's a tip, and I can make it because I am a winning horseplayer.....winning horseplayers waste little to no time blaming others for their invariable mistakes. They learn from them and become better players.

You have to remember that everytime there is a guy losing the race, there is somebody who cashed the ticket on the winner. The people that played Court Folly did ok here. Somebody made money. Betting these 1-10 shots is ridiculous. No horse should ever be that short of a price.

Every time I hear Dream Supreme, I think of that Cheap Trick song...Dream Police. "The Dream Police are coming to arrest me. The Dream Police they live inside of my head." It must be painful when that songs come on the air to anyone who lost out on a score on that horse.

And Leparoux really blew the ride on that favorite in the race Baxter won. That was atrocious. Frenchy's horse should have won by 4. He should be slapped for that ride.

I'm trying to remember the horse who was 2nd to her in the Ballerina that i hit an exacta with. I am certain that it was a Kentucky based horse. All I remember was sitting with Nick and hitting the exacta and tri on the race as Bailey got in traffic and nicks friend going ballistic when Bailey got in trouble.

Country Hideaway per chance?

I just remembered her name. It was Bourbon Belle. The exacta and tri paid nicely.

Bourbon Belle lost to Freddie Frisson, dam of First Samurai at Turfway the Sunday after Thanksgiving 1998...

I had no tip on him. I felt Biancone's horse could be beat because he had an inside post and thought that Hushion's wreck of a favorite in the 7th could be beat as well. So I spread 7x4x1x8. I though the last race was impossible as well so I tossed only the 2 and 6.
I certainly know a thing or two about watching races, its quite vital in spotting potential purchases which is what I do.
The horse was dead short and I believe he will say as much in coming days or weeks. I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with the complete bs he spoke about how ready he was. Like i said, he either lied or misjudged his fitness level. Top trainers do lie, top trainers rarely misjudge fitness levels of graded stakes horses so badly. If he was actually just lying i have more respect for him!!!!
