"Me" and the stewards? Since when did I become the watchdog for the fans and the CHRB?

I'm just a blowhard out of work announcer trying to hustle mounts for my jock.

All I " Need" to do is have a tasty brew. And chill.

What sucks, is you're at the head of the class when it comes to racetrack employees.

Than fans don't have a 'watchdog'. It's just the stewards doing what they want, when they want to, with no eye towards consistency. And basically telling the fans to shove it.

And, you really shouldn't be drinking, given your recent episode.

That is funny... Hopefully you got to watch Rachel.. Hopefully you can speak to Mr. and Mrs. Moss and Mr. Sheriffs and get them to ship Zenyatta out of Ca. to race her.

While I like TFM and share many similar views, that is one funny post Vic. I hope you are feeling better. There are 2 reasons for me not to watch California racing at this point. 1) the reason for this thread and 2) horses don't sprout freaking wings, and I'm getting very tired of hearing about it...

Seems like the drinking has had an effect on your memory as well, Vic.:rolleyes:

First we have this:

"Hey kids. I was sitting chatting with the stewards today. The subject of the stewards announcing and explaining thier own decisions again came up. Not long after Chairman Shapiro stopped by and joined the conversation. I'm not gonna tell you our opinions on the matter. I want yours.

I know there was a thread on this on another site a few weeks back but it did get much play. I really want to hear from you the fans. Believe me your voice on this one will be considered.

Please this one time don't use this thread to bash the CHRB or say the stewards suck. On this one let's try and stick to the initial subject matter.

Thanks in advance for all your responses.

Looking forward to hearing what you think.

Cheers

Goofy"

Then we go here:

Sounds like hypocrisy might be at play here.

Thanks for the laugh, Bro.

It's too easy to bend you over.
