Default Keeneland going official

I'm gonna put on my TFM hat and bitch for a second about something that's admittedly minor. Why the heck does it take Keeneland races so long to go official? I'm sitting here watching the feed, and over and over again, races are unofficial until the horses are back in the barn. What's the deal? Surprising for a track that does so many other things right.

explanation yesterday was new takeout percentage and the stewards are "making sure" of the results.

Lower take-out or higher? Don't remember hearing about this.

Seems you do this quite a bit. Weren't you the one who was giving me s h i t about criticizing riders a while back? You know, barely a day goes by where I don't see a comment from you about how a jock blew a ride. But that's not the same thing, right?

Of course, when you (or your many buddies here) do it, it's not 'bitching'.

In the world of TFF, one bitch is worth a billion.

I can only hope to one day be as whiny and miserable as you. It's a dream deferred.

Why is it that the men on this forum continue to make the very effeminate assumption that someone who goes contrary to the norm, here, is 'miserable'.

If I agreed with everything you wrote, would I then not be 'miserable'?

How about you stop referencing me in your posts? If I'm 'miserable', it then certainly there's clear evidence that you're 'fixated'. Got a crush on the fat man, Joey?

Tell me you don't also have a lap dog.

ha ha ha

Let's see how many of my other 'admirers' feel the need to chime in.


P.S. Should I direct you to any number of posts where you bitch about jocks? Well, actually, that would be just about ANY playalong thread.

So, in other words, you like dishing it out but you don't really enjoy being on the receiving end.

Carry on, Joey.

No, what I don't like is having to read paragraph after paragraph of whiny rambling because you can't take a joke. It puts me to sleep.

I think these annoying long delays are due to races not being made offical until jocks are done weighing in.
