Gp Joke

[the_fat_man]

when they're not timing their races

or forgetting to get the starting gate out of the way in route races

they're forgetting to get the starting gate in place for races

nice delay in today's 4th


this ****in' track sets all sorts of BUSH records


EDIT: so, after a 10 minute delay, Lezcano falls off and the race is declared a no contest. Nice. 2 no contests in two weeks (and about 10 incompletely timed races). Way to go.

You can't bet on it anyway so........

Trujillo's ride in R8 was a joke too. What's the point of hustling to the lead if you're just going to let everyone else catch up?

That ride was still better than Maragh's on Doctor Carina. That was a HORROR!

we had a player go storming out on their opening day claiming that the starting gate no contest incident was a fix or something like that. Now this is a guy who plays 6 days a week and he thought it was a fix.

So today i saw him after the no contest, and he told me he's calling GP no contest downs and refusing to bet them. however he refuses to bet us too LOL

I've always preached, "if you think there is a potential for a fix, handicap the fix."

[johnny pinwheel]

what are they supposed to do? take a chance on lezcano getting trampled so people can cash tickets? i'll take my chances on the full fields, best riders and trainers and best horses running. you guys that are bitching can bet the 5 horse field polycrap...oh yeah, if it ever drains off!

[philcski]

Yeah, taking a chance that a jockey gets trampled to make sure a race gets completed is a good idea. And I'm sure GP wants to refund $600k worth of wagers...

As usual, many here are having reading comprehension issues.

It's not about making the race a no contest. This was clearly justified, as no race should be more important than the safety of a jockey.

It's about the 10 minute delay BEFORE the race, when they, apparently, didn't have the starting gate in place (or, perhaps they needed to switch gates, or whatever --- which still means they didn't check the gate beforehand.)

It's about that they're just flat out UNPREPARED for racing.


So, they can't get the starting gate out of the way opening week. They can't get the starting gate in place in time for a race yesterday. And, they continually fail to properly time their races. These are the issues. This is a BUSH operation. If I bet the way that GP runs their racing, I'd be broke in a day.

The track is a ****in' joke. About all they can do right is scrape the track when they want those speed biases. They're really good with that ****.

no, you have a point about this part. but, ny has the same problems at the gate. maybe its a lack of training. the thing i don't understand is the people crying its a fix or some crap like that. the track loses a fortune and tickets are refunded. wheres the "fix" in that. i hope the guy that stormed out ,comes back and keeps betting because clearly he is an idiot.
