Santa Anita Opens
Any thoughts on the card?
MY 2 cents.....it can only get better, because it is sure starting off crappy!
What a lousy card. This is the big meet????

Just so you know Tommy, I'm sick of your negative posts & this is the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm not the only one. The ignore button is on for the grump named Tom. Perhaps it might behoove you to ignore the SA meet as I choose to ignore you. If you don't have anything nice to say...
Everybody, I wish you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Positives?
Positives:
Baffert has 4 horses running;
5 races gave an average of 7 JY breds;
2 races have entries bred in at least 5 different countries.
In my pro-rubber opinion some connections are going to give SA a try on a Wednesday!

Too tough for your computer, eh Tom? They sure look interesting in the DRF PP's, but I've only browsed races 4-9.
BTW Happy Holidays, you negative poster, you. 
Anybody know anything about Turnbolt in the 5th? Carava is dropping the once classy speedball (2nds to both Arson Squad and Bordonero when all were sound) off a claim from Mandella. Has worked twice since being claimed, but Carava's forte is moving a horse up.

Gee, I'm impressed - 25% of your stupid posts have been about ME.

I looked at 1-3 
Better pour a stiff one before you look at them.
I just poured one myself when I heard how cliches was ignoring me. Whatever will I do without his witty banter??

I can say one thing...............
Doug O'neill
Doug O'neill
Doug O'neill
Ok, that was three things. I think he is gearing up for this meet. Can anybody post his stats for this meet last year?
I have standard rule in Socal. Doug O'neill at 10-1 or better gets ten bucks on the nose almost no matter what......and to place.....and sometimes much more.

I have no arguments for people with rules like this. Perception is often the deciding factor.
In case you are interested in the last 365 days
286 starts, 13 wins (4%), ROI of 74 cents for every dollar wagered.
But perhaps you know WHEN to bet and when to pass, that is the key!

You're right about knowing when to bet him.........and which rider is up. Although the rider doesn't seem to matter as much as form and improving form more specifically. I think he has won the training title the last 3 years at Santa Anita (Winter/Spring) and seems to gear up for this one. He is 43% in the money.........for the year if my numbers are right. Catching the right one, makes up for a ton of "close ones"

It will be interesting to see the super high five start
It will be interesting to see the super high five start, The race has 14 horses. I'll probably pass the first day of the super high five.

This could have so easily been dealt with via Private Message. Seriously, personal shit like this has no business in this kind of thread....
People have a right to voice negative criticism. As long as the TOS of this board are not being violated, nobody should be telling anyone else what they should or shouldn't be posting....if you want to do that, send the person a private message.

I can't agree with you here today Tom, normally I get disappointed with some of the fields they have been throwing out. The 2nd half of the card looks very appealing, betting wise. The Grade 1 has a full field , and should be wide open, which makes me want to be around later. The rest are also large fields and competitive.
(anyone have 1st timer stats on O'Niel?)

I've noticed myself in the short time I've been here that many of the post are simply folks pouncing on others for what they've posted . On occasion I've replied with a difference of opinion , I see no need in this forum to attack anyone . Its easier to ignore than ignite !!
