what a hang by the 7

[pointman]

That is the most maddening, f****** incredible incompetence of riding maybe thus far at the meet. Did any of those bozos think they were going to catch the speed going those kind of fractions?

I love how I took the 4 because I thought would be on the lead, horse breaks great and Saez drags back. Bunch of dolts. Hard to play seriously with that kind of riding.

There needs to be some transparency.

I want to know how many jockeys are getting drug tested and given breathalyzers each day.

It needs to be done considering this is a "vacay" type meet. And the jockeys are acting as such.

It's beyond a joke right now. These slow pace turf races destroying the game. Or at least my interest in it.

It is hard for me to understand what is going through the minds of these morons that are 5 or more lengths off a crawlfest like that, do they actually think horses are going to come back to them?

It is an absolute joke and makes you wonder why you waste your money if these guys can't think about the strategy of the race they are in. 1:18 to 3/4, 1:43:2 to a mile, how do they think they have any shot to make up ground? It is absolute BS and they should be called in to explain themselves.

Took a saver on the 4 for the same reason figuring it was a pace less race. In retrospect should have just stayed out of it and satisfied playing the pic4. But nooooo.....

Looking back at the race, I am wondering why I would play the McLaughlin with Angel Arroyo over the one with Irad Ortiz on it. Having said that, on paper the 2 was much more accomplished. Credit Irad who has taken advantage of putting his horse in some races where seemingly the other jocks have no desire to win the race.

I also wonder at this point how Luis Saez is getting quality mounts in New York, or anywhere for that matter. He is awful, should be riding in Florida right now.

Wonder how many jocks were told to lay back?
