There is no defending it...this is an embarrassment to horse racing. Why don't these tracks start kicking out the cowards who won't race their horses?

Trust me Im not defending it. I am truly disapointed, I was planning on going to Aqueduct on Saturday, now there is no way I will go. The entire card is a joke, the maiden race 2 is about as bad a race I can remember, it belongs being run on the inner in December. Race 3 is the same old **** horses we have been seeing, then a bunch of NY Bred **** horses.

You should go in a chicken costume and heckle the owners and trainers.

I looked at the entries before I came on here and I knew this would be the response and rightly so. What the heck is going on with this place? Was looking forward to getting together with some buddies on what is going to be a gorgeous day and we get this? Too bad it came up this short, but in all honesty the entire Road to the Roses has been pretty frigging week and uninspiring. I rarely buy into this conversation because I love to bet horse races, but this is very sad. With that said, I will still be gambling on Saturday!

Too many stakes chances are out there and horsemen space longer and longer amounts of time in between starts.

It's a great recipe for uninspiring short fields in big stakes.

That's what they are counting on--why improve the product if the dopes will still bet?

Good job of allowing yourself to be taken for granted. Is there nothing else you can do with your life Saturday?
