But of course. Hey the Bluegrass is a Grade 1. All he needs to do is win that. Then I get to sit in the corner.

Stop worring about whether you'll be eating crow Randall.

Now you know what it feels like with your back against the wall. Get over it.

The Beyer guys will come out in about a month and say they goofed and downgrade the beyers they gave out.

The don't do it that often, to be fair but it does make you wonder if they should do it more often. And the Magical Ride race(I think that's it) from last summer was lowered like 30 points. That's inexcusable.

And was it not stated recently that Thoro, and others have had this same occurance? If so, lets move on from this one. Its getting old.

Picked out any "lshots" today Rand? I'm looking.

Nope but you just hit for a 54 dollar gain at Gulf. I'm getting nervous.

What the hell is $54. bucks when you are $400+ freaking dollars ahead. Don't toy with me, I feel faint.

Blacktroatedwind (and anyone who may make thier own figures) -

Are certain tracks typically harder to make figures for?

Actually, that Magical Ride race figure was very excusable if you know anything about making figures and tried to make them for that day.

30 points. Yes the variant was difficult. But that isn't 10 points. That's a pole and a half difference.

The race was for a field of horses with no history, run at a rarely run distance that for some reason was running fast, most likely the run up. Beyer has to make a figure within a few days per contract, so he can't wait for the horses to run back.

Also, the change was around 20 points, not 30, which is about 6 lengths at 5 furlongs. That is no pole and a half, and shows me you aren't really familiar with making numbers.
