I have one of those mobile internet things now. I am on my way to Taco Bell for my pre race meal before I saddle the worst horse i ever trained in the 2nd. And she actually may have a shot. Talk about bad races. The 2nd at CD today may be the worst race ever put on by a major racing association.

It was depressing. I mean being second was fine (though I'm sure Scuds will find something I did wrong) but that was terrible. One disadvantage that KY has is no statebred races to fall back on hence these debacles. I had to get out of CD asap because 1) it was like being at a funeral, there couldnt have been 300 people there and 2) they were 4 races short of drawing from Sat's card and i didnt want to get cornered by the Racing sec. Plus i am trying the Krebs theory of posting to try to get my horses to run better.

With an apparently thin horse population and/or trainers running elsewhere because of the purse cuts, why does Churchill keep insisting on running these 10 and 11 race cards? It seems that every day, the first five or six races have been cobbled-together short fields, with one short-priced winner after another. That meet is virtually unplayable.

The trainers need to wear ankle bracelets. That will allow us to keep tabs on them so we can know what they are up to.

How would I know? We can't play the track. The only thing I ever told ya was to shorten up Bubble Berry's races, and run her in an easier spot. You did both. I don't know what other horses you have. I don't even remember the name of the one that had the starting gate get in the way. The only reason I ever said anything about Bubble Berry is because she was such an obvious case of a sprinter stopping in the 2nd turn of a route. You tried her again at a route. I'm not sure why, but I am sure you had some reason. Then, she won when you sprinted her, and she won again when you sprinted her. Damn if she didn't win a 3rd time when you sprinted her.
