Yeah... Everything she did was a complete fluke... especially because of the surface... yeah. Glad she ran up the track at Churchill and Oaklawn to cement that statement

Bring back the dirt and quit your whining.

In fact with breeding mistakes based on poly form I can assume the damage from this idiocy is probably worse than a decade cumulatively.

Plenty of mistakes are made regardless of surface

[randallscott35]

Obviously. Surface never had to be one of them.

coming from the guy who's been whining for 10 years lol...

I'm just saying I think there's room for both and as I said from page 1 of this thread I love it when a race meet ends and when another starts up there's a surface switch. Love. It.

If being an advocate for a better game and treatment of bettors is whining than I am all for it. I think Doug whines about it more than I do in fact. And he's right to....But I'm sorry for your loss of Poly. You still have Presque Isle. Enjoy.

In all seriousness, how did bettors get dicked over when tracks went to poly? Please explain.

Also, Doug whines about the place he handicaps for a newspaper? He's an expert on a place that has synthetic (Presque Isle).

I've seen him whine about how much the Cal tracks spent on poly, so he questioned why they're giving up on it for the expense it took to put it in. Those are his tweets from yesterday.

But also, be honest- Do you bet Del Mar? Arlington? Keeneland? Woodbine? Dubai? I bet you devote plenty of your wagering $$$ to those tracks (and don't say "only the turf races")
