Seems like the driving and racing style in the bigger races is starting to get a bit more European. 2 path starts almost immediately and if you draw the inside getting pinned is becoming pretty commonplace. I’m not sure you even want to be on the lead at the 1/4 for fear of a terrible shuffle or getting your bell rung to the half. Making for some really lively racing and will be interesting to see how strategies change.

All these mother fucking cunts and yeh, I can't seem to recall at the moment who didn't fuck us over intentionally one time or another....better start driving every fucking race life like their life depends on it and that goes to Burke and orders out from every other trainer to their wheel man!
Yeh, that's a fucking threat!
When Yonkers was offering $4k purses pre-casino, was line up and second tier on the back stretch 3rd turn and some notorious assholes with live horse's burying them by never pulling. Marohn back in the 80's was notorious. People were angry so they added the passing lane, which only helped the pocket with that short stretch. When the casino money came you saw first over sweeps just before the 1/2 mile, the training evolved.
Now there is so much welfare money...cheating too...bottomless greed.

I used to love Armor Seelster (was a Bradley Grant horse) so on a whim in between my fixed bet races I did a $2wp and a 1 ex key box with the 7. I didn't win much but was a nice win and very enjoyable race!
Look how awesome that guy Plante drove that horse!
Like he was racing for all the money in the world and like his life depended on it. Longest shot on the board!
Hey scumbag cheaters, this is how you drive a horse...

Makes for more exciting racing. I don’t see how Lou Print sees the wood in The Pace unless everyone is racing for second.
