These dolts think Lasix is the reason that the game is in constant decline. I am ashamed that I share a last name with this guy.

He is ruining your good name!

The lasix debate -- from both sides -- is a huge waste of breath to me. I don't care what happens either way. It's a complete non-issue.

Here is an amusing column I found after my father was telling me about it -- he was training at FL during this time peroid.

Trust me on this... you share nothing otherwise.

He is a very boring and unimaginative guy.

This great marketing idea actually got a grand total of $815 in the pool.

the 6 went off at 4/5 with $340 wagered

the 12 went off at 2/5 with $475 wagered


The #12, a mdspwt dropper, won the H2H wager while finishing 2nd and paid $2.80 for $2

The #6, a first time starter, finished LAST

Yeah -- a 2/5 shot VS a 4/5 shot!

AND -- a grand total of $815 in the pool after using SENSATIONAL marketing skillls to get the DRF to write a column about this new bet at Calder -- on my facebook feed ... I had 3 different people link a story about this new bet.

I will say this ... horse racing has some good marketing people now. I mean, they can flat out market.

These guys probably all went to college for four years and stuff.

Too bad they're all stupid and they all know absolutely nothing about horse racing and even less about gambling.
