Irad "The Furnace" Ortiz fails again on the Big Favorite.

Ya 8-5 was crazy on that one. I know there was experience but didn’t like that horse at all. I was on the 7 but looking back pissed I missed that winner. Horse had good works for a trainer that can get them running. Davis did nice job getting near front there

Mad at myself for not singling the 3. If you watched work on XBTV he looked like a $million with a beautiful stride. At least I had $20 win so I have money to blow back today.

I lalso missed exacta as left your 7 out of exacta. Thought a Keen Ice would want more distance

Nice job.

No one wants to talk about what a cheating POS Mike Maker is. It’s hilarious.

And no one will ever dare talk about the Owners that use these trainers.

Claimed for $35K a couple weeks ago and just won $55K in a stakes race. This game is so easy. Why doesn’t everyone do what Maker does?

Amazing how he gets these horses to consistently stretch out when other top trainers never could. He must have special carrots in his barn

It’s embarrassing. I haven’t heard one person in the media anywhere mention all of the horses Maker has won with this meet that make no sense.

I’m no Baffert fan but is he any worse than Mike Maker?

NYRA tried to ban one. The other trains horses for Michael Dubb. This industry us screwed longterm.

Not only win…he crushed them. That horse has never ran anywhere near that and the trainer he claimed from can train.

No one will say a bad word about him though because he’s unassuming.

:tro:

We deserve better

Boy am I glad I passed that race- Take it Off ????

LMAO

I've officially seen enough.

Just wasting money on this track. It’s like watching same race on reply. Whoever gets to lead wins. Jose continues to not follow that script

So the trainer of that impossible horse that just won is a known cheater who fled California after he got caught and suspended. My theory is some of these guys have seen what Maker, et al have been doing and see that they can get away with whatever they want now.

I think we start to see some really weird results (even more than the last two days) as more and more barns start to try and keep up with all the juicing.

I had one foot out the door anyway but this meet has made me realize what a giant waste of time and money this sport has become. If you're a non gambler, it's fun and some of the stories are nice. But as a gambling game it has become impossible and I have never felt that way before. Too many obstacles against us as horseplayers.

I feel the same way but keep dumping money in.

Wow another front runner merry go round.

How long until the riders in the room understand there is a speed bias on the main?

Cheating trainers, stupid jocks and inconsistent steward decisions. Impossible to win.

Yup...and no one seems to have figured it out

Junior won so you know there’s a bias.

It’s been that way for three weeks. If I can see it they should

Now you’ve got Abel Cedillo stiffing his horse at Del Mar.

So much fun!

Saratoga, Race 10, $10.00 WPS 4 $30.00

May as well jump on the Maker train

My fault for putting my money in El Horno

You’d think I would have played the pick 3 after the pick 4 went up in flames. Especially because I liked the longshot winner of the 9th.

Nope

Whip cream on s*h*i*t
