PA,
You can thank me for this thread and all the attention it's gotten.
More than 100 comments, clost 8,000 views.
As have several other threads I've started here.
All this for you from someone you consider to be so bad, you curse me out on several threads.
You can go to Hell.
Delete everything I've given you for the last 8 months.
There won't be any more coming.
You can go eff yourself too!
You're a low life with bad manners.
To everybody else - minus Tom The Chimp.
Thank you.
Denny

Why do all the biggest idiots around here always cite thread activity with such pride? As if the site will die without them going forward.
Dude...19 years...still here...there have been plenty of YOU who have showed up and disappeared with the same boring story to tell.
Trust me, we'll still be here when you're gone...and we won't miss you.

I play Hong Kong in the evenings when I feel like staying up late. I like Prairie Meadows, too. I think I might try to learn KY Downs next year.
I don't play many tracks anymore, and certainly not where I'm only going to get exacta payouts in the 'teens and sub-teens.
I concentrate on those where I am very familiar with the track, the jockey and trainer colonies. I think stepping too far outside of that is a good way to lose $$.
So, sticking with 3 U.S. tracks works for me.

I think you have the perfect attitude for the semi-serious horseplayer. You found what works for you, you're enjoying playing, and you know where your money is best invested. I'm not sure what else you can ask from racing in 2018 if it's your hobby.

PA, (whoever you are... runs a site and is afraid to use his name...)
The site is doing so well that you need donations to survive.
That, and paid advertisers hawking products with threads.
Keep driving away contributors. All you'll have left is people with little to say.
Your loss.
AA,
Think he deleted my post to you elsewhere. Hope to see you back at HRI.
Maybe i'll send you a private message.

PA is the best site for horseplayers on the net and everybody knows it. If they don't it's because they don't look for a horseplaying site on the internet. Being able to talk to real players and the people who sell products. This site is a gold mine. You have exercised your disenchantment about nearly all aspects of thoroughbred racing. Not a shocker that people have gotten sick of it and said something and now you are pissed off and whining like it wasn't slef created. Pat yourself on the back you are now a member of the douchebag club! Membership has it's priveleges. Elsewhere!

Thank you Castaway, I'm getting exactly what I want out of it.
I've always subscribed to that great passage in Alice in Wonderland, where she asks the Cat: "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
And the Cat says: “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

This might be your funniest and stupidest post yet.
I don't need ANY of those things. But they are nice to have for all the ****ING WORK I PUT INTO THIS PLACE (just the MONITORING OF ASSHOLES LIKE YOU IS A FULL TIME ****ING JOB).
I could easily do this without the ads or the VIP memberships (I choose to call them donations, but they are really memberships to an area that I hope provides at least a little extra value...contests...amazon discount links - I know I need to update those...and my value plays - which have been kicking ass, finally, recently, after months of losing my ass trying to figure out which way is up).
And yes, the site is doing VERY well when compared to EVERY OTHER RACING FORUM ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB.
They are all, at last check, pretty much GRAVEYARDS...absolute ****ING GRAVEYARDS.
So pardon me if I don't take your criticism constructively. I've been doing this almost 19 years and am still here...still kicking...still thriving...while all the other sites that once had people posting on them are essentially dead or erased completely.
This coming from the guy who said he was going to leave.
THEY NEVER LEAVE...because this place ROCKS!

Stop spewing bullshit. PA doesn’t hide from anybody. In fact many of us on this board have spent several days together in Saratoga, Belmont and other places. There are some damn fine people on this board.

No racing secretary has EVER used MTOs to make races go or fill....they are protection in case races get rained off the grass. It's hard to imagine anyone not understanding this implicitly. A racing secretary could possibly be criticized for not getting enough MTOs, especially when rain is imminent, not the opposite.

Some rain.
Another thrilling card in NY.
Scratches galore.
Dumb sport.

I knew we shouldn't have scheduled rain today. I just knew it.

It's dumb because the track has no back up when it rains.
Scratch and take races off the turf and expect the suckers to bet anyway.
Divide the purse to the 4, 5 or 6 who run.
It's a crime how bad this sport is.
Living on borrowed time off casino dole thanks to crooked politicians and racetracks.

Wait, you recently complained about MTOs, and now you are complaining that there weren't enough?
It was a mediocre card to begin with and obviously not good after the rain. It happens. The racing has been strong this meet, and the numbers are reflecting that, but in today's environment you will have bad days sometimes....and rain only exacerbates that.
It happens. Hardly worth blowing a gasket over.

I understand how it works. I've been following this dumb sport for over 40 years (got hooked young, before I knew how bad it was).
But, they list MTO's - plus horses they know are going to scratch all the time in NY.
It gives the APPEARANCE of bigger fields. It's bs.
Hello Andy.
