I took a long time off from this sport and I'm already burned out again.

I can't take the incompetence.

No horse at that level for that purse should be folding the fu.cking deck chair after a 23 and change opening quarter. Period.

I really also take issue with purse money being distributed in short fields up to 5th place.

It allows complacency amongst barns. Cause to me...it doesn't seem like many of the barns give a shi.t about the competitive aspect of the game.

Didn't matter either way.

How bad is the card today? 7/2 favorite wins a wide open race.

4 and the 5 hang like pigs. Especially the 5.

It's no fun when 3-6 horses in a race are 5-1 and under and you can't include all of them...then the bad favorite wins.

This is the premier meet of the year and the results are similar to a Monday card at Aqueduct.

Too many tracks with too many slot-juiced purses. The sport needs to be more centralized.

I don't have a problem with the number of tracks. My problem is with the connections who hold the tracks hostage and take away the competitive aspect of the sport with their ridiculous demands.

Let's face it. When you're gambling on these horses it isn't a good look when you allow a trainer that's suspended a decade to run his horses in his gf's name.

There isn't much more in this life that is Bush League than that. It's embarrassing.

Now this horse will probably run dfl off the "claim off the shady"

But it's too good of a price.

Jesus Christ the racing is just so embarrassingly bad.

They really should consider 4 day weeks next summer. I mean if this is what they're offering...ffs

All I want for Christmas is Veterinarian stats added to past performances.

Come on. That's the last piece of the puzzle.

It's not Chad Brown is a horse whisperer. This sh.it ain't on the up and up.

If the plug 3 wins this race I'm taking a break until the travers.
