A lot of people toss out the bettor card like you did here and whine that you arent betting anymore or have been disrespected. It is pretty weak.
1. It was a graded stakes race almost universally you can expect an effort from a horse in that type of race instead of him used as a battering ram.

2. Weak? Another trainer saying **** the bettors. Nice.

2. So my point as a bettor is weak? Ever consider that without us there is no fuking game? ever consider the constant dismissive responses from the industry is part of what is driving us to say fuk you alreay?
The 2nd sentence is EXACTLY what i am talking about. The idea that bettors can take whatever stance they want without a counter BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU THE GAME FAILS TO EXIST!!!!!

Jesus cant there be a discussion on a topic without all the dramatics?

Pretty funny that you use the tired Internet strategy of repeating a Valid point as if it diffuses it. It doesn't. This is becoming more of an argument against the way I feel the industry treats its paying customers than it is about the issue. i need to step away. you win chuck bettors are stupid and if one goes away 2 more will follow or maybe it is just me being naive and thinking I am playing a game that will be policed to insure integrity to its customers.

I would prefer to discuss racing topics without all the dramatics about the "industry treats its customers bad" prattle.

Doesn't the of the word "prattle" in this context kind of highlight and underscore the absolute utter disregard of those in the industry to its customer? You are on an absolute roll this morning making my points for me.

Actually it should be 7 racing days like an NFL suspension is for games not days.
