Then I told them about you and Bigs hitting the pick 6 and how everyone was so happy about you two hitting it. They told me who cares if they hit it. I told them everybody on DT like to see other people succeed at the races. Congrats again Bigs and Scav. Hoepfully I can meet all the great people on DT at Toga, right now it's 50/50 if I can make it.
Sounds like your friends are Aholes like mine.

my friends have no problem with derby trail because they are fellow dters. My other friends have no problem with derbytrail because they are either totally stoked that i have brilliant and "rich" friends who can hit big bets or else I havent really talked to them about dt cause they care less about horse racing.

There is not a site on the internet that has a passion for its purpose than this one. Most internet sites have a profit agenda regardless of there so called purpose. This site has horseracing as the focal point and if us readers use the info passed out here ,a profit can be had. Kasept is to be commended for creating this site and maintaining it to the degree he does.Without knowing any of you personaly, Steve puts me in a position to know and respect you. For this I am thankful. Good luck to all on you on your trip to the windows and to the DeeTee stables. When the DeTe stables go to the winners circle a lot of us remote fans will be there with you.Agaim ,Steve, thank you.

I believe the love of horseracing is the reason this site is what it is. From the hard core bettors to the ones who love it because of the sport's beauty.

Horses are what we all have in common.

The reason the vast majority are pleased with big pic 6 hits is they understand the prep work it takes to construct a ticket and the balls to believe enough in yourself to put up the cash. The ones who would begrudge a big hit are those who sit with losing tickets made up with quick picks and a combination of addresses and birthdays. They just don't understand the game and are the ones yelling 'this race is fixed' or 'that jock's a bum' because of course that's the only way they can be beat out of their quick pick numbers.

I've said before I've met many on the board in person and have never been disappointed. I look foward to meeting more this w/e at Sumwon's race, more at the Belmont and can't wait for Saratoga. Hell I gave up politics for the respect I have for DT members and the fear of offending anyone on this board. LOL
