![]() Daaher faced a faster pace early, he faced a second turn, and he packed it in like he did in the Donn.
To be honest, I did think that he was much too good for this field to lose but there was no way that I thought he was 1/5 better than them. This race tells me that the Donn was not the throwout race that all of the people that are smarter than me and told me I was an idiot was. People said the Donn was a throwout because Daaher was obviously a better horse than he showed and because I simply asked "how do you know that when he hadn't faced the conditions that the Donn presented", I was attacked as an idiot and basically an unknowledgeable race watcher.

![]() Andy should set up a "racewatching" course so that unknowledgeable fans can become certified in watching races and their opinions could not be further disparaged by the "racing experts".

![]() Now, I haven't been following the other races at AQU today, and I'm basing this on today's charts, so the following might be completely off but:
What I find totally IRONIC about the whole thing, and it's more a digusting kind of irony, is that of all the pieces of **** that have won this winter because of inside, speed biases, the NYRA crew has a fair track for this race. I understand how it would be important that the "GOOD" horses don't get the benefit of a bias, in other words, that it's fair for all involved but if we can get the track to play fair TODAY why can't we have a consistently fair track? Or is it acceptable for shitty horses to win with a bias? |

Baloney. Pre-race opinions are hardly razzed around here unless one makes fun of him or herself. You're really being silly, and sort of desperate, here. It doesn't suit you. |

Ya know, this is even lamer than I first realized. I could go on and on about quite a lot of stuff around here but what's the point. What's really amazing about this entire episode, and perhaps you should have thought of this, was that not only is there a post made the next day where I discussed your thoughts more carefully, but I also PM'd you ( you never even had the courtesy to respond ) to say I felt I was unfair and I apologized. But, now you suddenly are prancing around on your high horse. OK, if it makes you feel better, I will admit I was wrong about something. I actually thought you were a good guy. |

This wasn't about prancing around on any high horse. As I said, I didn't bet the race and I fully expected Daaher to win. So for that, I was dead wrong. This was just a moment where, in a flash, I did feel some vindication for the shots taken at me for expressing an opinion. To be honest though, I could have picked from a number of posts on that thread but I chose yours, and that particular post, because I thought it was something to have fun with.

![]() I'm still the outside of the box thinking, radical idea having idiot that doesn't have a clue. Hasn't changed in 21 years of watching these animals and hopefully, won't change in the next 21 years either.
