I am surprised that Little Guy did not opine on that. Instead he went for the insults. And maybe he does not agree, so be it. But why the insults?

There is NO MENTION of little guy in the Original Post but as usual he is quick to insult. If you guys want to challenge my observations fair enough, but who is the troll here?

If every time someone posts an opinion and Little Guy and others jump in with the insults and name calling, the board will continue to fade away as it has of late.

No skin off of my ass either way!
That's nice....

Doesn't change the fact that your original post in the thread was wrong. Very wrong to be honest. But don't let me stop you

I'm still trying to figure out where I insulted anyone ( or did any name calling )

I was going to ask him about that, but he was on a roll.

I'm guessing it was this:

"I love the internet....where truth and reality take a backseat to fantasy and BS."

Yep, maybe you should. You called me a troll from day one when I made fun of the Big A plant. Where was I a troll on this thread or any other thread.

I'll tell you what and do you a favor and stop posting here like so many others have.

No issue for me.

I don't know much about this subject but I would guess that the NYRA is in a tough spot these days. Multiple states near NY have slot fueled purses with easier competition. I feel like it used to be NY was the real major player and benefited from nearby racing states to help with field size. With FL having more year round racing and PA, NJ and ON having slots money as well as what must be a cheaper day rate, it is tougher to draw the fields like they used to. I still think nobody does big days like the NYRA but the day in day out racing is not what it once was. Seems like that Woodbine really has some great cards to play.

How can anyone play this conveyor belt racing. Worth than Yonkers in its heyday of line up racing. I wasted paper printing out the form. Glad I didn't waste my money.
Maybe sometimes the riders of other horses don't want to be sacrificial lambs by engaging a faster horse in a speed duel just to make some bettors happy.
The jockey's role is to get the best possible finish for his own horse and not to act as his own rabbit and get the speed beat but himself beat even worse.

Hah...as if...

I'll let you in on a little secret bello...it doesn't matter to me...you think it does...but it really doesn't.

I've already won. My board is the last big general racing board left standing and (relatively) active.

All others are either comparative ghost towns or gone altogether.
