I agree on that. I just think Artie always gets the shaft cause of Lefraud and his sore foot that everyone uses as an excuse for betting him and losing. Look back at Lefraud's PPs, the horses he was beating weren't exactly a who's who of horse racing.

You are cutting up a very damn good horse.

He was no fraud.

I bet Artie Schiller in the mile the year he won - and I always liked him a lot - however, I don't think he deserved that Eclipse. Leroydesonmeaux - or however you spell it - was awesome that year.

I'm sure people got the same feeling in the Gavea Teletheatre when Senor Paco beat Lefraud by 23+ lengths in his debut.

I haven't been to the Schenectady OTB but I have to imagine the Wolf Rd one is a lot better, as shady as the Wolf Rd one is.
