Clown,
In the first paragraph, Barry is just retyping what Class wrote before the race.
He isn't guilty of bad form because of past posting, he is guilty of bad form for style of posting. he should have attributed the quote to Class.
Interesting that you would be the past post police Clown. At one point there was a suggestion of naming the redboard room the chuckles the clown room..... :)
By the way, point taken on your Atto Mile. You are correct that it would seem a lot of horses bounced and several were coming off of tops, so it wasn't unlikely. I struggle the most with what happened to the horse I bet, King of Happiness. He didn't have a "bounce line" and was pretty consistent. I guess he didn't adjust well from running on the very hard turf courses in California, to the yielding course at Woodbine. I thought before the race as a son of Spinning World, who I believe was a top class Euro runner, he would probably apprecite the soft turf and might even move up.
My point clown was not that Leroides ran a negative 6, it is that you have a habit of denigrating top performances of horses. Ghostzapper, Bellamy Road, Leroides and others. Leroides ran a very big race yesterday. How big, I don't know, but very big. You want to bet against him again in 6 six weeks, go ahead. I've had my fill betting against him in 5 races of his streak. No mas for me. (that doesn't mean betting on him at a short price in the BC, but rather skipping the race and watching).
