Why do you talk like you're a member from the cast of Happy Days? I've wondered this for awhile. Thanks in advance BM!

I'm actually glad this happened. First off, you're blatantly lying. You have never banned me. Ever. The truth is I have asked you too a lot, but you never have.
Not sure why you would make that up, but it appears you are desperately trying to save face here and I guess lying will help you do that. I have to say that totally making that up isn't helping your arguement.
The facts are the facts. You protect your political buddies. Does anyone really think you would have come into this thread the way you did if I was going back and forth with SRU? What if I was going back and forth with Cardus? Would you have done the same thing?
Of course not. I argued with your pet, so you responded the way you did. I'm done helping you get website hits. Use someone else.

It was a number of years ago that you were banned. Perhaps your memory is failing you at a young age.
And you are such a one dimensional tool, I knew this was all about political slants with you.
Like I said, the board got along just fine with you not here these past number of weeks. You're a maniac if you think the only reason I wanted you to stay was for "hits." If you truly think that, you are more clueless than I ever imagined a good handicapper could be.
I wanted you to stay because despite your ****ing piss poor attitude and belligerent style, for some reason, I still liked you. Imagine that? Liking someone even though their politics might be different than your own.
What a novel and adult concept, don't you think?

Nothing I like better than a politically incorrect thread I started 7 years ago getting bumped!

Maybe politically incorrect, but spot one.
Stupid idea to make saddle cloths pink - people use them to follow horses. Unlike pink shoes or wristbands or whatever other sports do.

How obscenely inconsiderate of NYRA to put horse players through the unspeakable ordeal of using an alternative method of identifying their horses simply to raise awareness of a terrible disease. All truly red-blooded men must assert how macho they are by flooding this thread with posts protesting this atrocity - for atrocity it must surely be to generate so many angry posts.
There are more important things in the world than our selfish convenience in viewing races for one measly day. I have seen threads on infinitely more serious problems like performance enhancing drug use get less angry posts. C'mon, some sense of proportion please.

This is the magnitude of outrage that one would expect if NYRA had banned all visual TV coverage of races to raise awareness of pink eye.
Some people need to get a grip.

Not a big deal, just want people to get in the habit of reporting posts. The board is much too busy for every post to be viewed by PA and myself.

They could EASILY have done something other than the mani thing customers use to identify their horses.
NFL has pink shoes, there are pink wristbands, the Helmets could have been pink. The pants could have been pink. Sorry to expect to be treated like a customer.
btw, Breast Cancer is NOT the #1 killer of women. Heart disease it.
A cause I do contribute to out my winnings every year. Why the track is not helping the #1 is a political decision made by someone. I do not need a race track telling me what I should be donating to. I am quite aware of things on my own.

Well there you go, maybe the jockeys should have all ran with pink silks, and they could start adding numbers to their calls.
When I have a superfecta bet, I do not remember all the horses I have covered but do remember the numbers.
Many years ago, one of my first bets was at Santa Anita. I went to the window and said $5 win and place on 'my favorite horse'. The teller looked at me and said 'just the number kid, give me the number' - sage advice I remember to this day.

But remember that the hidebound stuffed shirts at NYRA stubbornly resisted using the saddlecloth colors - just like they didn't legalize Lasix until September 1, 1995, and didn't so much as add fifth purse money until I believe it was 1993.
