We also will never have someone calmly talking to the TV sets or not throwing objects after there horse loses. It reminds me of last year I guy many of you know (we'll call him Joe) almost got written up for yelling too loud at a California race on TV at the Downs,I beleive it was a longshot he had in a pick4.He almost got banned from the track for being too excited about racing...We also had a guy who used to blame God saying God must hate me when his horses lost...Funny thing I never saw the guy in church?

Are you talking about owners who throw things or bettors?

I know the guy who blamed God - for real - he lives in Vegas now. The same guy had another great line, "I'm the smartest person that I know".

[Rudy]

Bettors of course, owners save their anger for the jockey and trainer...The guy who hates Gid when he loses dyes his hair.............

Rudy,
God has the BEST horses ever in his stable (i.e. Secretariat, Man O' WAr etc.) and laughs at the rest of us. And anyone who says they are the "smartest person I know" must be the most stupid person to ever grace horse racing. Anyone who knows anything about horse racing knows God has a different set of rules for us. Have fun guessing who will win and share your "guesses" with others.

I remember an incident, several years ago at TBD, concerning a regular that took place in the grandstand. We had been discussing the upcoming race and he liked a horse that was very long odds. The cleaning lady, who this individual knew well, overheard the conversation and quickly chimed in that the horse wouldn't win, he had a huge knee!! Well, this guy runs downstairs to the paddock, almost falling down the stairs, and gets as close to the horse without climbing over the fence and starts shaking his head. He came back up to the third floor and proclaimed that she was right, his right knee was huge! I am sure you know what took place about ten minutes later. The horse romped home with the 2 percent win jockey, Kerry Wirth, at about 25-1!! No one had a dime on it, and the cleaning lady was nowhere to be found...
