I'm sitting here, pondering

1) ridiculous track takeouts

2) a ridiculous tax on winnings > $600 (or whatever) for each $2 wager
(this, by the way, kind of needs to be adjusted to the PRESENT standard of living and not the one from 1969 or so)

3) another tax on my winnings for the year (should I be so lucky)

4) ridiculously poor quality DATA and VIDEO system wide

5) problems even getting a bet in while tracks, horsemen and ADW's jockey for position.

Not to mention all the interesting 'RACE' events of this past weekend that have hardly been covered in any of the threads.

HOWEVER

these aren't real issues. THE REAL ISSUE is the character of DUTROW.

That's what affects the daily routine of the typical handicapper.

As we would say in my neighborhood: GET THE **** OUT OF HERE WITH THIS ****.

Pay a $100 day rate and see if you like racing against horses that might be getting an unfair advantage.

Just another whining opinion about a guy that many people dislike.
Nothing new in the world of sports.

face it, its not all about you and your interests.
here is a suggestion: start threads on the topics you want to discuss and if you're lucky no jerks will invade your thread requesting that you stop talking about that subject. this constant ragging on people for not talking about the subjects you deem appropriate is tiresome.

Now, why would you think that I actually GIVE A **** about what you think? Might it be your GREAT opinion?

My suggestion is putting me on ignore.

I was tempted to do a similar story until I learned that Dutrow is a 10th grade dropout. Us 10th Grade flunk-out's need to stick together .. so this was the result.
