And that bum Karakorum Knockout can't ever win a race!
I always bet her to win and...like those jocks, she did it on purpose!

Somebody just does not get it, and I am not talking about the jockey in question but the creator of this ridiculous attempt at coming to grips with the fact that yet once again he has wagered more then he could afford to lose and feels it necessary to post this type of burst of anger at a horse or jockey or whatever.

That could set a record for run on sentences.

Seriously,Albarado was weak in the 9th.I didn't use the favorite(that Albarado was on,) but that horse should never have lost that race.Graham tried every trick he had to keep the horse from going by.People always want to call it "letting your horse see the other horse," but this was a case of floating out so far that you intimidate.If Robbie does nothing(which he did,) then he loses a stakes race. If he matches the float out with a slight float in,then they have some 60/40 contact,and Robbie's horse wins the stakes.I would suggest you post this in the selections area,because people who didn't see or bet the race........well,honestly,they don't give a sht.

I like Robby. He is a fine jock. He has brought me home some fine winners in the past. It is simple--dont bet him if you think he is a bad jockey and is not going to bring home a winner for you. Maybe it is your fault for wagering on him.

Huge over-simplification here......More often than not,somebody you would rather not bet on is riding the horse you feel is best.I would imagine that is exactly what happened here.Seattle thought this horse should get it done.He had to put up with the jock that came with it.

Just once I would like to hear somebody say:
"Oh man, such&such jockey just won me a ton of money!! I had totally capped the race incorrectly and didn't have the best horse at all, but the cleverness of the jockey's ride saved my ass!!"

I can this about Russell Baze in the 3rd at The Big A on Saturday. He rode BYANOSEJOE to victory for me. Not going to say what I won because I will be accussed of redboarding. But he was not on the best horse, but gave the best ride.

This is a seldom spoken, rarely overheard, exclamation isn't it? Can you imagine hearing someone shout out a "thank you, ****, great ride" to one of them, before leaving the rail and heading to cash that $100 win ticket, that trifecta, or that super?

Sure they were doing their job, they got their cut; still, JUST MAYBE they performed their task exceptionally well, their skill proved beneficial in that particular race.

Anyone can benefit from accolades. And they should be spoken more readily, regardless of what our vocation is.

Nah, won't happen in horseracing though. All you'll hear from the rail is, YOU SUCK, when they lose next out.

Too often, all we hear is how profoundly stupid they are. Seldom the positive. That's a shame.

Using the term "Rot in Hell" was unfortunate.
