How about an objective review of what happened at Gulfstream and the "operatives"? This is what I have heard and/or experienced.
#1 Thorograph asked to have a seminar.
#2 GP asked Ragozin if they wanted to have one also.
#3 Thorograph's operative (a Gulfstream Park employee, no less) gave their seminar in a comfortable location, while Ragozin might as well have brought a table and plopped it in the middle of the paddock. Even Jim Mazur had a better spot.
#4 Your assertion that Nebel was thrown off of Gulfstream is incorrect. He was caught on tape? Who are you? Linda Tripp? Too funny!!
#5 Another Thorograph operative, Jungle Jen Burke gives free thorograph ads in the midst of her job in exchange for free sheets. She was asked to cease this by the Marketing Guru, Dave Rovine, but continues, putting her job in jeopardy. Funny thing is, her picks are so bad that it is a deterrant to TG sales.
#6 Thorograph has been so desperate that it was selling 5 or 6 sets for the price of one and regularly loses money (on shipping, which they have to pay in cash) sending their sheets to South FL.
What happened to all the ads in the Daily Racing Form? Did the DRF finally wise up?
