Title: Gloves are off!!
Post by: tread on April 22, 2002, 11:06:15 AM
WOW, can\'t belive the postings on the \"grumpy old men\" board.  Friedman flat out will not discuss..

- Whether or not they make a differnt variant for sprints than routes

- The fact that they had Monarchos bouncing before last year\'s KY Derby also

- And then he makes some childish remark in another thread about TGs horses finishing last

It doesn\'t take a genius to realize that if they had Saarland moving 3 points forward off his last, there is something seriously wrong.  Either the wood figures are too fast or the gotham figures are too slow.  The BRIS figures for the Gotham show a huge effort pace-wise racing 3 wide and closing 3 lenghts in the stretch, and the wood was 3 points better than that?  That deserves an explaination.

I\'m anxiously looking forward to the in-depth analysis, and Jerry, thank you for taking the time to explain how you come about some of your figures instead of taking the \"just believe what I\'m saying and don\'t ask questions\" approach taken by the other camp.  Gives you a world more of credibility in my book.

Thank you, and I obviously agree. It\'s a commercial site and they have a right to do what they want, but that\'s not the point- when someone feels that censorship is a better idea than full disclosure, that squashing questions is a better idea than answering them, anyone with a brain who is not blindly partisan asks himself why(ask Daniel Ellsberg). We have always thought that the more potential customers knew the more likely they were to buy our product- which is why this has been an open forum(with a few exceptions irrelevent to this discussion)from the start, and why we have a Red Board Room. There is no reason Ragozin couldn\'t have one as well.

I think you\'re the best Jerry. I\'ve never seen a more bitter wannabe in my life. Why should they care what you want them to do? You\'ll always be second rate and your best bet is to try to ride their coattails, associate yourself whenever with whoever you can, and put out a discounted knock-off for those that can\'t afford the best.

This stuff is killing me, lol.

Life is f\'ing great!!
