Why is it offensive?
Or are people just overly sensitive nowadays?

Maybe you are underly sensitive? Horses on fire just not a good look right now in my opinion. Obviously you disagree. I'm sure you didn't really need me to tell you why I find it offensive, right?

The Ad is unfortunate. They really should pull it, if they haven't already.

Ok. They budget this ad, and then are stormed by other expenses including Hurricane Irma.
GS has given to Cali racing. Do you want them to expend more expenses that will be put on the horseplayer, which is what will more than likely happen with a better ad that 1 out of 1,000 people will see?

Come on, an eight grader could make that ad in his basement in a day.

Well, I assume you are above 8th grade.

Yep, that is exactly what I said.
Grow up man. Have some balls to look at a different opinion than your own.
And yes. Carry on.

That's a good one. I'll put that in my book of totally ridiculous comebacks.

Unbelievably bad taste by the Stronach Group to show that add of a horse appearing to be on fire after San Luis Downs fire.
Another reason to add to my list on why I HATE GP and don't ever bet them.
How about the FINISH LINE on Turf races.
WHERE IS IT EXACTLY?
Are we supposed to guess based on some red tape on the rail?
Look at some photo-finish photos on a close finish. The RED TAPE extends BEYOND where the horses are!

While complaining endlessly about the shortcomings of certain (all?) tracks is cool and all, I start thinking, after reading these things over and over again, that some of that "bitching time" could be better spent actually improving your handicapping skills. That is, if they could use improving, as I know most everyone who posts here thinks they are the best handicapper in the world...but only most of you, not all of you.
"All of you" is reserved for those posting on twitter.

Depends on if they are using the regular finish line or the "alternative" finish line. They have two of them.
