C'mon KG, you make it sound like there should be a coloring book provided to everyone that walks in the door explaining what to do when a horse poops in the post parade. If you heard he had a bar shoe and didn't know what that meant, couldn't you just ask someone? Or pull out your Blackberry or Iphone and google it? We live in an age of information, if someone is too lazy to take it upon themself and learn they deserve to lose.

They should only care if the track has been certified by the NTRA!!
I bet none of them would even know what that means.
