There's no doubt that Burke was thinking this horse would be a major, perhaps very major, factor in the KSDF/Sire Stakes program next year. He was definitive, confident, and put his money where his thinking was, and get just got a nice pay day because of it. Improved performance, luck, doesn't matter. The purse check cleared. Burke's operation is big enough, with enough spreading of risk, that if this horse turned out to be a dud, it wouldn't decimate them. Give credit where credit is due. Obviously, Burke didn't think he overpaid that much. At least not to the point where he stopped raising his hand, LOL.

Whether you simply dislike Gural, think he's self-serving, a cry-baby, or whatever it is you think.....go make up signs and go protest/picket right outside the entrance to the Meadowlands. I'll pay for the supplies and send coffee to the picket lines.

AGREE!  Don't fuck with MAGA

Oh My I wouldn't...

If every maga man, woman and child and pet was going to die and all I had to do is fart, and I love to let a good fart fly, I'd hold it in!   

How many times did you suck off ace before he croaked?

We may get a carryover for the Pick 4!

You can see the scratch now.  My Pick 4 blew up.

I can see the scratch now.

Why did it take so long for that scratch to be updated and seen is the best question in this thread?

You're good at pointing out horses not going to win. 

Maybe this handicapping scheme is what you need to do.

Not a joke, process of elimination.
