Mountain, home of the "100%" DQ.

[Stillriledup]

If you blink at this place, you're down. 100% of the time.

Does anyone have any "Stats" on tracks that actually *Gulp* pay the winners on occasion? I know Santa Anita and the major So Cal tracks actually leave up the physical winner (i know, novel concept, right?) on occasion, but some tracks seem to be possessed with not paying off winners, small fouls, large fouls, intermediate fouls, ticky tack fouls, doesnt' matter, some tracks DQ everything that blinks.

Keep that in mind if you're betting this place. They want to keep the jocks to the highest standard possible, if you don't stay in an EXACT straight line, you come down, no exceptions, no "its part of racing" no "contact sport, let them play" none of that. 100% straight line or else you dont get paid.

I was waiting for your post! That horse did crash into the other but they really milked the replays showing it over and over like this was the Derby or something.

maybe that can be code for getting carried away with the vortex stuff

Thanks, hope i didnt disappoint!

I know what you're saying, knowing their "history" i said to myself that i would bet the DNA in my heart, my first unborn son, my left leg and all the money that everyone i know has ever owned that this horse was coming down and yet, they looked at a million times for some unknown reason, it wasnt like the horse was ever staying up.

Betting the local connections seems to make the dqs go into your favor

The overwhelming majority of posts I've read on this site regarding the Mountain is that it's crooked as all hell....so why do we have selection threads about this place almost every night, and esp on Mon & Tues ?

That's what I was thinking. Stillriledup makes a thread about Mountaineer at least once a week, all of them complaining about the track. SRU, if you don't like it, why do you pay attention to it so much?

In the last six months I have had more winners taken down on ticky tac DQs at Gulfstream than at every other track in the nation put together. Is it just me, my bad luck, or is there something about that place that causes horses to not run in a straight line?

[Stillriledup]

I think this post worked.

First race at Mountain, an obvious non dq and yet, they looked at for over 10 minutes, over and over and over again.

That's a scary place, if they're going to look that long at 'nothing', i dont have any faith in this judging at all and certainly don't have any faith in the process.

They viewed this first race inquiry like they hadnt ever seen a horse race before.

And yet, you keep on paying attention to MNR.

Im an idiot and degenerate, what can i say lol, but i'm done with CT and if this horse would have come down, i was ready to post "im done with Mountain".

Just the length of this inquiry scared the crap out of me, there was nothing to see here and yet, they looked FOREVER trying to figure out a way how they can place the 3rd place horse first, even though he was being badly outrun and the slight check didnt affect the outcome.

I only saw the head on once, but it definitely looked like the 2 came out on the three and the 5 could have come over on three as well. Of course, Brisnet has no head on replay right now
