I'm certainly not going to name any names, esp. without a shred of hard evidence, but if you follow California racing, say, for the past few decades, you've all seen what I've seen; again and again, certain trainers' horses defy the laws of equine science and physiology with their freakish performances. When do these guys meet the FBI agents??? Are they too big to fail??? Have

Does anyone know if there's a mandatory payout in the Empire 6 Sunday? On the website, they say December 31, when there is no racing. Gulfstream is Sunday FYI.

He's 1-31 at GP and owners are running from him like rats off a sinking ship. I see today that one of his most prominent owners. Imaginary Stables, has switched trainers to Elizabeth Dobles. Is there some backstory here?

Well, in all my years of watching races, I have never seen that! Is there even a rule about that??? Jockeys have certainly gotten more friendly over the years.

Hey, don't know for sure, but it looks like they have a new turf course!
The sand wasn't flying like their usual sand storm conditions, and the inside paths might actually be OK!

"The movement to ban Lasix is being driven by “sportsmen†(i.e., those who don’t make their living in racing), and a group with a profit motive, commercial breeders, who also don’t make their living in racing."
That's spot on--great observation.
Racing in the UK, for example, where lasix is banned, is so different. It's more of an aristocratic thing. They'

I don't know when/if it would ever happen, but I hope the BC comes back to NY someday. So funny, I'm watching Aqueduct Friday and Saturday, and the track condition is perfect, glib and fast, but bias free, and the turf looks beautiful and deep like a real grass course should look, and I'm thinking, here we all are seeing this BC fiasco at SA where even the talking heads on TVG reco

The issue with European races is always the variables that I would think go into the number making; the courses are all different, flat, uphill, undulations, right hand, left hand, straight, in addition to so many variables of course conditions from firm to heavy and a hundred things in between--couple that with most of the horses don't run together in race after race--the numbers are a litt

Well, I went over the race. Seems muddled, esp. from a pace point of view. Can't say I really have a strong opinion.
1-war story-repeat of last makes him tough; should get good trip too, legit contender if he can carry his race to west coast and hold his form which is no sure gamble--i always root for glenn his colorful owner

yeah, I get it. of course, they all like their horses' chances, only difference is most don't bet what he bets in a day--i'm guessing six figures a day easily, if not more. when he bets on his horses, it's a big deal, and you'd better take notice

The connections are very high on this guy Saturday. Do with that information what you will. Glenn and Navarro will be there in person, too. I haven't yet handicapped the race with sheets and pps, etc., but there doesn't seem to be any monsters in there. War Story's last win was super, and although the margin was small, the jock said he had a ton left and was only hand riding do

Big changes coming for Belmont park. Sounds good, actually. I hope we all live to see it. Aqueduct will close. They'll add a synthetic track inside Belmont's turf track for winter racing, and even lights for night racing. Like I said, I hope we all live long enough to see it.

Funny, everyone has their own tastes. The guys I can't stand are Frank M and Pete A. Frank is the worst ever.
He is a nice guy though. I met him once; I just can't stand the way he yells and always puts down the losers, and Pete from Gulfstream is even worse in that way. His emotions are like he bet everything on every horse that wins and you didn't.
