Why take that attitude? Are 15:1 shots so rare to come by? If it's not evident by my posts, I bet this horse as well. Would've collected on the double and win. But I won big elsewhere yesterday, so I just take it as yet another way to be right and still lose.

I'll be damned if I give up DMR (or any of the CALI) tracks because of a single screwup by the stewards. This is like a homerun being erroneously determined to be foul by the umps. Someone who hits 5 a year doesn't get over it; someone hitting 50 a year shrugs it off. Same **** with all the PAST POSTING.

Keep swinging for the fences.

It happens to me quite a bit in California and I always seem to come out on the short end with their lack of consistancy.

Their general mindset is pretty consistent. They will overlook a foul if the horse who wins is obviously the best horse. They appear inconsistent, because they overlook nearly all of Gomez' fouls(regardless who was the best horse.) On the other side, they go out of their way to punish Espinoza, and Nakatani (he has quite a mouth.) If they didn't know the jocks who rode, then they would be much more consistent.

Check out today's 3rd at AP. The 2nd horse clearly takes the path of the 5 (who finished 3rd) and should've come down. I got shut out trying to play the number and considered myself lucky when they started showing the headon. But it stayed up. Compare this to the trivial **** last night. It'll get you sicker.

Seems there is a God, after all. Sort of.
