Title: Sometimes I just can’t take it…
Post by: TGJB on June 08, 2023, 10:57:20 AM
So I only see Jake's sheets a few times a year, and most of the time I manage to bite my tongue. But Holy Crap....

They have Arcangelo going BACK 4 1/2 points in the Peter Pan. In other words, they're saying if he had run back to his maiden win he would have won the stake by 8 lengths.

Come on, man. You charge money for that stuff.

True story.  

One of my good friends is either an owner or part owner/investor of Rags.  Another of my friends gets the Rags for free through the same friend.

I had already been using TG for 15 years, and he offered to give me their numbers for free, but I turned him down.

He said, \"Dude you\'d rather pay for TG data than get ours for free?\"  

I said, \"Yep, you get what you pay for, but I do appreciate the offer.\"

Is your friend in NY or Ky?

I actually get along well with their majority owner, he's a good guy. He also owns a breeding and racing operation in Ky.

But he's not the one responsible for the figures. Man.

Neither.  And I know he\'s not the one making the figures.
