Respectfully, I was nothing but complimentary to "the pill". I am extremely happy for all the folks and connections. That is not the point. The point isn't to make you feel good. Did you folks look at the fillies that she beat? Do you know that 2 of the gals have failed to register a BSF of better then ZERO in 9 races. That the other 4 or 5 had never ran a 25 or better in a combined 20 odd races. Do you recognize that only your filly has a possible opportunity not to be a horrendous investment even with bloated purses that are sponsoring in this case pathetic horses. How is this good for racing? This is a forum NOT a RA RA horse racing blog. If the race that "the pill" (sorry the moniker kills me) won isn't an indictment that racing is in trouble and that slots make ZERO sense long term then I give up.. 7 fillies running for 13k when collectively they are worth maybe 20k. People had to blow there money in a legalized crooked machine so 500 people can watch 7 fillies who are extremely slow race. I am truly happy for all of you at DT.. But look at the forest not the tree.. G-d Bless "the Pill" she won a 7500 MDN Claiming event you folks have at least 30 to 50k in her and I am happy you found a spot for her to earn back some of your money. But please take a good hard look at that race and explain in good sense why it makes sense that people have to be stolen from to promote such horrendous animals from racing for reasonable money. I am sorry that group was all that is wrong with today's racing product. The race was only entertaining because you had a vested interest in it. If you hadn't you would have been like the other 600 people in attendance. Forced to endure a product that was absolutely terrible. Watching slow horses that should not be in training and only are because state and local governments are promoting people to sit in front of a criminal machine is an indictment of just how nuts this game has gotten. |

![]() Well Freddy, not to dispel your view, but Rampillion got a 56 Beyer for Tuesday's effort. You'll be singing a different tune when your New York bred hits the track though, because by way of comparison, here's what the 56 Beyer gets at Belmont Park.. without slots:
6/19: MDN CLM ($16k CLM PRICE) -- EASTERN PRIME 54 BSF ($15k purse) 6/20: NYB-MSW -- HOLD THE CRUISER 54 BSF ($41k purse) 6/21: NYB-MSW -- KITTY WISH 56 BSF ($42k purse) So even though your New York bred may be as slow and pathetic as Rampillion, my guess is you'll put that same $30,000-$50,000 into her or him and run through conditions in NYB company. Just a hunch. Even though she'll be facing similar vermin to that which Rampillion faced. But it will be OK because it won't be slot money fueling the purses.. just NY taxpayer dollars funneled into the state bred development fund. Totally different scenario.. ![]()

It's way worse then you think..Your real case against me will be when the filly that DrugS and I own goes in a 44 Mdn Spl at PID where the winning BSF will be in the 40's MAYBE. And yes I will be happy when the filly wins and she could and yes it will be in a horrendously bad race with hopeless horses and the purse will be the product of Slots.. I still think the product will suck and I still think it is wrong to promote the sport in such a direction. It's mindless to have such bad stock racing for fools gold. If you don't think I hate 4 NY bred races on a card of 9 at Saratoga you are nuts. I hate it. I hate it when a field of 6 show up for a 68k allowance NW2 and 14 stuff the NY Mdn 35k race. Taxpayers money is clearly a better avenue then legalized theft. Slots are bad they hurt people and once they are everywhere the shot in the arm that they give owners and horseman will loose all meaning. And will have a bunch of slow horses to find homes for, As for "pills" being pathetic I never called her that, and was complimentary to her effort. What I said is she beat vermin, fillies that could bearly be considered race horses.. More importantly you know that to be very very true. |

Taxpayer money invested into an industry in an effort to promote it and have it develop jobs is good business when done correctly. Racing should be and is entitled as an industry to state government investment. And yes I hate the friggin Lottery also. Half the folks at a GA meeting are broke from the g-d damned lottery. |
