You think they WANT American Pharoah to lose? That sounds a tad ridiculous.
What would NYRA have to gain if they made it more difficult for AP?

Bragging rights. I have a bad memory but didn't Secretariat lose to Onion in 1973 Whitney. AND THEY STILL EMBRACE IT.
I hope we never find out.

I hope he runs in the Travers. I hope he breaks slow DUE TO NYRA jocks smashing him at the gate. I THEN hope the leaders choke it down to a 26 52 117 fraction, AP gets rank on the inside the whole way, all the while being buried for a mile and when Victor asks for run the first flight has more than enough to hold clear.
Not because I hate AP. But because THEN and only then will any attention be given to the MAFIA riding tactics of the NYRA boys.
I have no idea how I stay ahead while betting NYRA with all the crap the boys pull. I've grown accustomed to it and bet accordingly, I guess.
Draw Jose or Irad next to AP in the Travers.......LOOK OUT.

I'm having a very good Saratoga and Belmont so far. Not bragging, I'm not seeing it, I'll have to look closer. I will say this Jose Oritz guy wtf is his problem? I'm seeing a lot of bad rides from him. And I'm seeing bad positioning for a lot of riders. But the better horses are still prevaling or coming in second.
I don't play Jockeys there, they're all good, unless it's a Grade 1/2.
When I have to throw out close horses, Cornelio goes. That guy , in my program seems to always be on the perfect Horse, and comes in third. That's how I know my program needs work. 
Trust me , Sar/Bel be happy bcause the Jockeys are horrible everywhere else. I play GP, the place is killing me. They don't even ride a horse most times.

I hope not because he would have the opportunity to win the 4 largest 3yo G1 races

I rather it be a prep before the Breeder's. if he can do 2 starts. Maybe not Baffert said the Horse was exhausted on the return trip from Monmouth. I dont want to see him run at 90% at Saratoga or anywhere else. Maybe that's it.
Regardless no one can top the Arkansas derby, Triple crown and the Haskell that's plenty don't get greedy, I made a ton of money off this Horse keying him in exotics. It's okay if he does not run again. I would love for him to run again, but only 100% fit,

I'm going to be very surprised if Baffert takes AP to Saratoga. I think there will be some excuse at the last minute. I know that Zayat wants to go, but I don't think Bob wants to go back there. His only win was with Point Given, and he was retired the following week due to injury. I think Bob thinks of Saratoga as his bad luck track. That being said, I hope if he does go, he wins easily. People have bought tickets early, because they have been hoping to see AP, but I'm not so sure that is going to happen. It seems like if you don't already have a ticket, you are out of luck for sure. I hope if AP does go, he shows us the bottom of him, and all he's got left in the tank. I think it's a lot. I love Texas Red, but AP is one special horse.

WTF!!!
This is a horse racing forum. I appreciated her link. I felt she was disseminating useful and timely info which most wouldn't know unless they were employed by them. If you don't enjoy her threads then you shouldn't read them. You can see who has originated them unless you're stupid.
As most on here know, I don't get pissed very easily but your post has made me respond quicker than usual.
