Put all the lipstick on that pig you want, using the charts for your data is bogus.
He made up data to further his agenda and he lied. The man has no credibility.

this is gonna sound odd, but one of the first things i feared
when Suffolk Downs got tough of T'Breds going to slaughter,
was some dirtbags would just use it as an excuse to run horses
until they literally drop dead on the track, or are banned by the
Track Vet for coming to the track in poor shape multiple times.
i hope i'm wrong.

Educated guess- next Saturday the 5th.
To maximize exposure, the online edition will be posted in the pm (same day as Derby) and the print format will be front page Sunday morning.
Again, just a prediction.

Marlin's response:
This is some nonsense. The first and last sentences are correct. However, what is in the middle makes it a bull**** sandwich. People chase that money regardless. A guy with a horse at a slot subsidized track is no more likely to enter a "lame or injured" horse than a guy at a track with no slots. In fact, the incentive would be greater with bigger purses to take a more patient approach. Your logic is dangerous because somebody might read it and actually be dumb enough to believe it. Whats next, slot subsidies killed Kennedy?
Marlin, please read this article and let me know if you still disagree.
