I believe the following.

1. The game revolves around bettors and without bettors it will fail
2. The current average age of horse racing bettors is close to one billion years old
3. Horse racing does not do anything (or, at most, very little) correct to attract new bettors and therefore is dying
4. Horse racing is viewed by younger bettors (like 18 year-olds such as myself) as being a fixed, corrupt game that one cannot win at.
5. This is very unlike, for instance, the message that poker has sold to reinvent itself
6. The reason horse racing is seen as fixed and corrupt is because, well, it is
7. Ordinary bettors (people that do/would bet) believe that unless you are an industry "insider" it is impossible to beat the game. (I could offer as evidence myriad examples)
8. Worse yet, for some reason, the industry allows for (and in some case encourages) this corruption and faulty marketing strategy to perpetuate itself.
9. I am a crusader. I am a vigilante. I will address these issues when they rear their ugly head.
10. Vic is an ugly head.

11. I really think I know what I'm talking about.

You know what? I could really give a rats ass about your opinion. You are just a little boy with an axe to grind with anyone and everyone. Sounds to me like you need to grow up. The few of your posts that I've read seem to back that assessment up. Take your opinion and thesaurus someplace else. I enjoy reading inciteful post not simple blowhard statements.

Didn't you read? Don't interrupt...he's on a mission. He's trying to save the horse racing universe from all the fixers and the like so ordinary bettors can win.

Just out of curiousity, what exactly to you disagree with him about? What has he said that is incorrect or you disagree with?

Its not whether I agree or disagree with him, it's his manner. Look at Guats post above, that describes pretty much how I feel. Not to mention the fact that he should be banned for his rather vicious attacks on Vic.

Banned? For what? People get shredded like that daily on here and they don't get banned.

Guat's post is ridiculous. Vic loves the attention. It's why he posts as VJ Stauffer.

how's it ridic?... i never addressed stauffer's character (never met him), only what was irresponsibly posted.

And that doesn't really make it right. Especially when he shows up out of the blue with his obnoxious posts. Hey, if you like the guy, that's fine. I don't. He and Rock Hard Ten should have a cage match.

Who would have thought that a thread with Zenyatta in the title would turn out like this?

I guess my issue is the only reason people seem to care is because it's directed at Vic. If Rare Bog was saying the same things to Rock Tard you wouldn't be calling to have him banned.

It's just sort of funny to me. Like Vic is royalty because he takes time out to rub elbows with us peons.

many of your arguments seem very emotional and provide little substance. your lists are nothing more than lists at this point. you seem to be very passionate about horse racing; however, it would help suscribers if you would provide examples and evidence to support your claims.

while you provided a link to stauffer's "issue" (which really was rosario's issue) earlier, you fail to to cite the following: http://www.bloodhorse.com/pdf/JoelRo...int09PM001.pdf

i realize you have a problem with mr. stauffer; however, it is very irresponsible to defame an individual. be careful of the content of your posts as some of the material is libel (published or fixed form of defamation of character; a civil wrong that falsely impugns the reputation or character of a person or entity, opening the target up to public scorn or ridicule).

while i do not agree with most of your list, you are entitled to your opinion. in the future consider providing substance for your argumets, that way we are able to debate them with facts, either in support or opposition.

you may be a very intelligent person and a good guy, but we have a responsibility to post responsibly and maintain a convivial atmosphere.
