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.

You should get 7 days for incessant whining.

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

Chucks strategy for discussing this is to mock jms, say nothing factual while making tired and redundant remarks that dismiss valid points of people that are fed up being taken for granted by this sport, and then close his case by saying case closed, there is nothing here.

Then repeat ad nauseam.

It's like listening to Pee Wee Herman keep saying "I know you are but what am I?"

And Chuck, while yeah, bad rides are normal, and not every horse in every race is ridden to win, this horse was intentionally ridden to lose. Regardless of his odds, his bettors were treated fraudulently, plain and simple.

By the way, the tired excuse that it happens all the time, so stop whining? How does it make it okay?

It disgusts me that people so easily take it up the ass when it comes to things like getting their money taken from them (and other things in life). People have become complacent because they have learned to expect to be treated unfairly.

It is not okay to be screwed over and those doing the screwing need to be held accountable.

A whole lot of words but in the end you aren't doing anything but what you accuse me of. Rabbits are intentionally ridden to lose yet a lot of the same people who are disgusted by the ride are accepting of that tactic. Because a rabbit once won it's ok? Because you can handicap it it's ok? If you shoot a guy and kill him or you stab him or kill him he is still dead right?

Rabbits can win races, horses that are eased after they are used to do dirty work never do.
