Here's another one from the genius that brought us the comments I refered to in my initial post...

"he has fired well in 7 previous Belmont Park defeats"

the horse's record over the track is 7 starts 0-4-0

okay where do I start, the horse is 0-7 at Belmont, how do the words "fired well" even enter your mind...
also, last time this animal visited Belmont, the only race in his visible PP's, he was just nipped, finishing 6th, beaten 22 3/4 lengths...

you can't make this stuff up

what was the horses record at other tracks? without that information its tough to say whether or not the description of firing well at Belmont is accurate or not. at a low enough level that might be accurate.

you've already stated that you disagree and find inaccurate information in the "a closer look" comments, my question then is why do you take the time to read it?

the horse has run in stakes races in 9 of it's last 12 races and has earned nearly 400K...he has finished in the exacta in more than half of his races...

in response to your second question, aren't we all looking for as much information as possible? isn't that why people pay $35 for what amounts to speed figures?

the Belmont record you gave was 4 seconds in 7 tries, 57% in the exacta, and you say they were stakes races. what's wrong with calling that firing well at Belmont?

Are you serious? Do you people have to argue everything...the guy said:

HE HAS FIRED WELL IN 7 PREVIOUS BELMONT PARK DEFEATS and he lost his last race over the track by almost 23 lengths...how can you even argue this?

and I didn't say the 7 BEL races were stakes races, I said of his last 12 races, 9 of them were stakes races, and only 1 of those was at BEL...

when I post on this site, does my font change to Chinese?

I didn't know it was $5.50........I stopped wasting that money long ago. Just download the past performances, and get the news from this board/ racing- type shows. Any good betting info in there will be seen by so many other eyes that it will not be very important. They pretty much want you in the hole before you ever make a bet. It's always been that way. It's not useless, but it's really worth about $2. That's it. Same waste of money that over-priced coffee is. Wean yourself off it, and in a year or two, you'll have saved enough for a big screen T.V. If it feels like a rip-off, it's because it is one. Seriously, it's worth $2 a day. They simply think they're more important than they really are. You have to understand that writers are this way.

so it should have said fired well in most Belmont starts, what is the big deal?

you are the one that started the thread arguing about how bad the drf has become, and then give flimsy reasons.

if you're hanging on every word written in the closer look you need lots of help, beyond what the form can provide.

especially if you still don't know which tracks have 1 turn miles.

how much good information is contained in those little blurbs? very little. 3-4 little snippets at best, from one person? i don't think many people are buying the form for the valuable info contained in the "a closer look" comments. the value is in the pp's and speed figures.
