I believe the love of horseracing is the reason this site is what it is. From the hard core bettors to the ones who love it because of the sport's beauty.
Horses are what we all have in common.
The reason the vast majority are pleased with big pic 6 hits is they understand the prep work it takes to construct a ticket and the balls to believe enough in yourself to put up the cash. The ones who would begrudge a big hit are those who sit with losing tickets made up with quick picks and a combination of addresses and birthdays. They just don't understand the game and are the ones yelling 'this race is fixed' or 'that jock's a bum' because of course that's the only way they can be beat out of their quick pick numbers.
I've said before I've met many on the board in person and have never been disappointed. I look foward to meeting more this w/e at Sumwon's race, more at the Belmont and can't wait for Saratoga. Hell I gave up politics for the respect I have for DT members and the fear of offending anyone on this board. LOL
