Whomever said anything about Parx being a second rate track...

[EMD4ME]

Usual sniper attack by Castaway and then when his target fights back, castaway is no where to be found .

You made a simple critique of a second rate track based upon info from a credible source(s) and the information was incorrect.

It happens. You shouldn't be murdered for it. But those errors are what some posters here look for , so they can come in and blast away.

Put him on ignore SPA. Mentally and physically.

I can understand that, but I just can’t bring myself to support such an insane takeout. I was looking at the Cotillion ; it was a virtual lock that 5-Songbird would win and that 1-Carina Mia and 2-Catheryn Sophia would get either second or third. An exacta of 5 / 1,2 wouldn’t pay much (it ended up 4-1). But an tri of 5/ 1,2 / 1,2 might be worth it(5.4 – 1). I ended up passing on the race because I just couldn’t bring myself to bet the tri at PARX. I guess from your perspective, I lost money.

Another stellar post in a long line of stellar posts by you.

This was a great racecard and day of racing with plenty of opportunities to make money. If you're going to be a bitch, at least bitch correctly.

Completely out of line.

Thanks.....And I let PA know about it thru a PM....
I was rather taken aback at that guy's reaction.
I will tell you this. There must be some pretty bored people that if all they have to do with themselves is cruise these message boards looking for errors or misstatements so they can have their "ooh ooh pick me" moment.
Or they have this undying need to feel as though they MUST be the smartest person in the room..
Anyway, Thanks for having my back here.

Sorry, my father passed away last week and it hasn't been the easiest time for me. Feel free to delete my post if it offends anyone. It certainly doesn't matter right now.

Meanwhile, in their infinite wisdom, the track offers a SFC on the previous race, the Cotillion which started 6 with an odds on favorite which was there for a 'pari-mutuel workout'...And guess what happens the SFC pool was $120k of which the track took $36k( 30% takeout) and the dime super paid....EIGHTY FIVE cents......So.....Who is asleep at the wheel? Who's decision was it to keep the betting schedule as is and who was it that did not notice that the Super was a crappy bet on a six horse field and leave out one for a field of 12 in Grade 2 event.....Perhaps the right question is "who should be fired first?"....
BTW, Keith Jones, announcer at Parx seemingly forever, still getting it done.
He may not be the best, but he's got a good voice, is easy to understand, doesn't get too emotional. Steady....

Sorry, I was wrong to talk to you that way. My father passed away this week so it's been rough, but I shouldn't take it out on others. I can't delete my previous post but I just wanted to publicly apologize.

My condolences that's one of the rough ones to get thru especially if you were both close. Hopefully, you were able to spend some quality time together. I continue to think about mine which occurred many years ago.

My condolences on your loss.
I'd like to think of us as a loosely knit family here.
Goodness knows this sport this sport is struggling to maintain interest.
We really should not be hostile to ourselves.
I consider the matter closed.
How about we start anew, yes?

Castaway01, and whatever your real name is, my deepest condolences for your loss. You and only you know exactly what you feel and how you feel BUT please don't feel like you are alone....Although none of us could ever feel exactly what you feel and how you feel it, we all/most have experienced the same and sympathize for your time of grief.

Without knowing you or your dad, I am SURE your dad was awesome in so many ways. You will one day be counted on to carry his legacy, spirit, passions, loves, wishes and aspirations ON.

Please cherish that role when it comes and know it exists. It's an ironic blessing to be in that role....

We are here to listen, whenever you choose to speak/if you choose to speak.

Deepest sympathies......

Our spats are nothing compared to real life.

[lamboguy]

my sympathy and white light goes out to you, your family and his close friends.

Castaway, you have my best wishes and sympathy, as does your family.
