I can say whatever I want, it is a chat site. If I had a dollar for every bad thing Oracle said about someone I would be retired. I am not some coward that allows people to push me around. Unfortunately, a few people here put up with that crap.

Ummm, in your experience, lol, how have the results held up against the expectations Scav? LOL! I mean, I understand what you are saying, its great to have a potive attitude and confidence, If you don't have any confidence chances are you won't do well in any avenue of life.
But reality also has to play a part in this. Quite frankly I looked at the card today and told Lans that there was no way I thought I could catch the pik-6. Just didn't look like one I was comfortable with playing. Not every day is gonna be "your" day, one of the keys is to try and identify what days might not be your day, and just say I'm passing today.

I admit I am wrong when dealing with people that admit when they are wrong. Oracle has never been wrong about anything in his life. From the first time I posted here Oracle went off on how syndicate owners aren't really owners and how we think we are. Guy is a jealous jerk. Probably couldn't come up with the money to buy into a horse anyway.

Of course you can say whatever you want. Just don't expect anyone to respect you if you can't respect other people. NOBODY pushes me around, by the way. ;)

last Sunday's Arlington's card was that way....Had to go out there because it was fathers day but I just sat there and made 10 cent super bets that were off the wall because the card was horrible.....Los Al puts on better cards then last Sundays

Why do you always bring this up? Who cares? The truth of the matter is, once that racehorse is retired, do you still own it? Does it stand stud at your farm of choice? Just wondering...

I never accused you of not being an owner. I never accused you of not having a part in a couple horses with your group. I wished you luck with those horses and meant it(its a damn hard business and game, anyone in it needs all the support anyone can offer and kudos for actually playing the game).
I think there is a big difference between telling someone their opinion on a horse is bad, and calling someone a liar and accusing them of a falsehood that is business related. I can be course, I can be aggravating, but I never call someone a liar or tell them they arent who they say they are,etc. There is a very big difference between the two. And I think that 99.9% of the folks here would rather be called an ***hole than be called a liar.

Yes I still own my horses when they retire. What kind of question is that? It would stand stud at whatever farm they decide on. Would I get a check for the money he made in his stud career? Of course. If they didn't even have a stud career I would keep the horse. These aren't cheap horses. Lets say my percentage on each costs more than a new car. If I wanted to own an entire horse I could just buy some claimer and when his career is over send him to be slaughtered. I just prefer the better horses.

Look, I never once said that, you are lying again. Go back and show me the post where I say that syndicate owners arent really owners. They damn sure are!!! I told you a funny story about syndicates(and I remember it well) and you have tried to twist that into me saying something else. The story was meant to be funny and believe me, it is funny if you are ever there.
The story I related was that ocsacionally up here you will run into two-three maybe four people in one night out that tell you that their horse is running tomorrow. YOu ask him who it is and they all say the same name. Its truly a funny story that actually has happened because to those hwo dont understand syndicates and how they work, they scratch their heads and say but we just met the guy who owns the horse at the last bar we were in. Its not a story that knocks syndicate owners, it was a story that shows how funny a night out here can be. Many owners(including Lans) start out as syndicate owners to get their feet wet and understand the business and the game. Its limited risk and by buying into a few of them at a smaller share you get to cover your ass better with less exposure, like a mutual fund as opposed to a single stock. Like a mutual fund the syndicate head acts as the fund manager acts. Selecting who to buy and sell, at what price, etc.
Now look, you can toss all the **** against the wall and hope thats oem it sticks, but the truth is I never said any such thing. Could we dispense with the bull**** and lies please?

Whatever. Right off the bat you started with your "I meet these syndicate owners all the time and they think they are owners" garbage. Aren't you a guy that gambles with other people's money. Why would I have any respect for a guy like that. If your picks are so great, put up your own money.

There you go lying again. YOu are twisting the words of the post I made around in order to try and suit your purpose. Go back and find it and post it. Make sure you read every word and the context in which it was spoken. Make sure you also find teh post where I wished you good luck with them. You just don't know when to quit.

mike - don't waste your time with this non-sense

Well I mean really its just common sense. Betting 6-1200 every time there is a carryover is just way too rich for my blood. Thats why I have never tried to represent it as an equal partenership. I mean, I can't tell you how many people I meet who are partners in one of those syndicates who will say "My horse is running tomorrow". I mean, to represent it like that would have the listener assume that the person saying that owns the whole horse. Its just not true.

Gales, the guy is making false statements and lying. Here is the exact post to which he keep referring. Find the part where I say anyplace that a guy who owns part of a horse isnt an owner!!! I can't stand liars. And this guy is a lying machine.

So you are the Dennis Leary of DerbyTrail?

Maybe I should be the one giving out handicapping lessons. For a guy that was told here how I don't know what I am doing, I just collected $750 for that Ministers Bid/Mascot double. :eek:
