Several years ago CJ's Dad and I attended a day at Belmont.
There were several PA types and we sat with them and some other guys who came up from Baltimore. There are pictures here somewhere.
There was a guy in the group who kept telling everyone how much he hated people who scream during the race. After about 3 races he told us he was going crazy that people around us were driving him crazy.
So CJ's dad and I hit the head between races. He comes up with a plan. He talks me into screaming for our horses every race. We start taking turns during the race. Doing basically everything listed in this thread. The guy who was complaining is going nuts. He is getting so pissed. CJ's Dad is laughing so hard he's about to piss himself. After doing this about four races I bet this big frontrunner and it's playing to speed like crazy. It's my turn to be the idiot. The gate opens and 12 steps out of the gate he's up by 10L and I scream "it's over, I got him and he's 9-1" or something like that. I'm old....I don't remember exactly. But the guy in our group stands up, screams "Jesus Christ!" And storms up the grandstand and walks into the crowd. He didn't come back until the day was over and never said another word to us......... he even stopped posting on this forum.
We laughed for days about it........so you guys who were there....you probably thought we were idiots. Maybe we were.....
