I've intentionally not commented on Mike Petrelli, or topics/posts having to do with him, for quite some time. I have him on ignore and as such I don't even see/read his posts. That said, I do want to say something here. On the horse topic, I don't think anyone has a problem with Mike, or anyone for that matter-----who is an advocate for horses, for aftercare, for retiring horses with the dignity and respect they deserve, or anything that is trying to protect horses. That is not the issue. I think the issue is "how" he goes about it, and "who" he is being when he goes about it. PETA may be a wonderful organization, however, they, and individual members can become extremists, heretics, or the like. Some may think he is a widely accepted expert, well respected sport/industry participant or commentator, or whatever. Some may think he's not a sport/industry participant, a bust-out, outcast, or whatever. Doesn't matter. Praise him or condemn him. Doesn't matter.

As far as the "cheaters" topic, look, if it's not completely and totally obvious to you, that Mike is not anything close to objective, unbiased, impartial, or whatever you want to call it, that his claims, accusations, etc., are personal-----then I have nothing to say to you. When people have an axe to grind, when it's "personal" that just progresses to anger, resentment, and the like. Maybe it doesn't apply to every target. But it certainly applies to several.

This Grandstand Handicapper is really something.
He doesnt like "the way" someone else advocates for horses. Oh boo hoo. What a tribulation. The suffering he must endure at the hands of petrelli.
The obvious resolution is to then do it yourself if you dont like "the way" others are doing it.
That won't ever happen. This website is filled with bad actors posting behind a veil

the betting after the bell is getting worse

race 1--#5 is 5/2 as the gate opens--he blasts and goes off 1-1

race 2--#5 5/2 as the gate opens-he blasts and goes off 3-5

it must be nice to bet after you can see the first 1/8th of a mile


the will pays did not reflect those odds so that theory is debunked

I believe you, we're meaningless.  They cheat every other way, some so blatant it's laughable.

Burn all the money.

McNair was unenthusiastic, and that horse started galloping because he didn't want to race for 8 seconds, had at least a quarter in him...more bs, becoming permanently unbettable.
