The BS meter just blew up.
Let me guess, you do REALLY well with the ladies too?

He didn't ride here for an extended period of time. It was about 1/20th of his career.

No worries, dil. You've really got "stuck in" on this topic in many threads and I thought you might have an advanced level of expertise on the subject. I wasn't looking for authority, just expertise (you don't have any). It's all good though, I enjoyed the banter.

More BS deflecting.
Your credibility is shot.

1/20th of his career! What a joke you are. You said you didn't even notice him BEING there.
Too bad I can't meet you across a poker table. With observational skills like these...you'd be toast against a "real" poker player.

You don't think having been to the track and seen stewards rulings hundreds of times, and having read the rules, constitutes expertise? You are, with respect, confusing it with authority.

It's true. I didn't remember him here. Because he spent most of his career in New York.
If you think that one has to have a perfect memory of every jockey who temporarily rode here, that's silly.

I think the more pressing issue isn't his knowledge on stewardship, its the constant defending of the "Establishment" and not defending the player. There are also a few other posters in here who seem to always side with the track, or the trainers, or owners and never defend the rights of the player.

I plead semi guilty to this. I probably do defend the establishment too much.
But is this really a "player's" issue? It depends on who you bet, right?

Its an establishment issue if you defend the stewards no matter what they decide. If you're an "establishment guy" and you come to argue that the judges made the right call in this case, it looks like just another pro establishment post. Now, if you can show posts that you've made in the past that criticize judges and say they made a bad call, that would be considered an anti establishment post. Do you have many posts like this?

There is no one with less credibility on this topic than you.
No one.

Being a rider does't make one either a good television announcer or an expert on California stewards' rulings.
|
Neither does being an anonymous internet poster.

I just watched the NBC version again and in the slow mo of the start it appears that Martin Garcia is trying hard to pull Bayern back outside.

Of course he is, but people see what they want to see.

Mig shows up in my DB from Nov 06 to Nov 09 with 1300 starts.
Or don't we care now because you have already abandoned that argument?
