Fonner Park is proving a point I've made for a long time

Well they just got approved for twelve more days.

I understand stuff like this is sometimes part and parcel of the game we are playing. I suppose the games are hidden better at the better tracks.

Armando Martinez is a disease.

Your own fault betting Starhunter, horse refuses to pass anything. No fault of Armando for his ride. Pretty sure he is still the leading rider there currently and brought home a 25-1 shot in the finale yesterday giving the horse a perfect ride to win the race.

I agree on this, this particular ride by Armando was not worthy of the "diseased" label.

For starters...missed the break.

Either one or two races before that one, the same thing happened. He was not riding for his Wife in that race. He was favored on the 8 horse. Missed the break and got looped by the 9. Loses by a part of a length to the 9.

Now that I have buried Armando Martinez...some of the Jockeys, in my opinion, do a fine job riding there. Jake Olesiak, Dakota Wood, and Scott Bethke come to mind. Also, Chris Fackler...I read some posts about a non-try by him...but I like him just fine.

I like the racing from Fonner Park, Jay. And Armando Martinez isn't going to change that.

I never said I bet Starhunter. If I do nothing else right...I don't bet 6 horse fields.

Horse was on the decline, and is not a good breaking horse anyway. Got a great position into the first turn. Drifted out on the final turn, instead of in the stretch as it did in the race before. Cheap horse, and showed it.

Yep.
