Fine Jimbo. I don't disagree with that at all. His performance, racing not giving its customers what they deserve, all of that. You are spot on.
Its the incessant whining and crying by people like So Cal. Wah Wah sniffle sniffle. I have to spend a bit more time handicapping a race.
So tell me So Cal, where is all of this sniveling when this happens at other tracks? Because it does, more often than you want to admit.
Its a pathetic excuse to blame the ML for all of this. As I have said already, this happens at EVERY FREAKING TRACK. EVERY DAY.
You shouldn't even need a ML to figure out what horses are probably going to get action. Not every horse, but enough to get a feel for the race.
