JB, on the page explaining the fig-based trainer profiles what I noticed is that it says the statistics are based on tg figs from 1-1-98 to 12-31-03.  Does that mean the figures do not reflect any data from this year?  If so how often are they-will they be updated? Is this the set of stats your referring to as the rolling 3 month stats or are you referring to another set of stats.
Thanks

The Judge likely ordered the drug testing as one of the conditions for them to be released along with the \"travel restrictions\" the judge also placed on them. You get arrested-you get drug tested. One more drug test failure and its behind bars while awaiting trial.  These guys lives are ruined, time served or not.  Next their Assets likely will be frozen and confiscated IF any connection can be found that the assets are gotten from or were used for any illegal activity\'s. Then we will be able to buy their computers and cars at a repo sale somewhere.  They will be paying attorney fees for the rest of their lives regardless of the outcome.  How stupid and greedy are some folks?  Seems like to me there\'s a bunch of those greedy folks running the tote companies.

There\'s an empty bed awaiting Mr. Groth in the Schenectady County Jail. His cell mate is going to be former Capital OTB CEO Mr. Davis Etkin!

A possible contender in a tough race-A potential improving 3 year old who has paired up tops in his previous 4 races before the QEII.  A number for his last would have been very useful.  Did he regress or take a move forward? I waited to get the data til today so I could have all the euro numbers. If you have the number for the race can you post-it please.
Good Luck to all.

You and I will not be the only ones who has/will notice Colonella. If she goes off at 10-1 I\'ll be shocked.  But lots of people don\'t like maiden winners right back to win so hopefully that will help the final odds.
Just Looked at the race this morning and you\'ve got 4 horses all with flat non-improving lines and slower than Colonella. Then you have Smooth Blues who popped a fig only once before as fast as Colonella and there\'s no indication she\'ll run another 7.
Wishful Splendor is interesting and Nickey\'s doing ok so far while Victor Carrero is not unexpectedly finding it tough to win up here.

It\'s gonna be a hot day Wednesday and I\'ll be paying attention to what runners look like in the paddock and post parade.

Heven\'t gotten to the 9th yet.

She\'s entered right back on Wednesday at Sar. There\'s no number on her sheet for the win on Thursday yet.  Can it be posted today or tomorrow?
Thanks in advance.

Went 0-8 opening day. I gotta start being more selective.  Thursday I had to go into the office and work. Friday made one wager on the overbet Volponi in The Bernard Baruch.
I got thru the Siro\'s crowd opening day and spent about an hour there but not meeting anyone from here. I Spent the weekend with the wife & kids on Sunday going to the Great Escape. I have to work all this week or so I say on a Monday morning-so I\'m looking forward to The Whitney and Jim Dandy. I have high expectations for Iron Deputy in the Jim Dandy and searching for something that appears unlikely to beat Street Cry like a Left Bank?

 @ 6am for my home-exit 14.  I\'ll be at the far end of the outside tent at Siro\'s after the Last race, win or loose and wearing a grey/blue cap and glasses. A round of drinks on me awaits.
Haven\'t been able to put down TG sheets since printing them out Monday. My flesh is up here for work but my soul never is far from the paddock.

Dude, Back in June you said....
\"TGAB&TGJB may be nice guys but Rags product is far superior. I challenge anyone to a contest. I know you people on here are going to post long idiotic post but either take the challenge or don\'t.\"

You then dissappeared and never responded to the people who wanted to take you up on your challenge back in June.  Then today you re-appear just to make this vague pointless post.

We just had a contest here last Saturday.  Where were you?

I have complete understanding of the contest and its rules so I must be unreasonable.
I guess I should have just automatically assumed huh.  My frustration is that this entry issue could/should have been agreed upon before today just like all of the other rules of the contest.
Use the first horses I listed then for my one entry selection. Gotta go.
Good Luck to all.

Geez, At the last minute after I\'ve posted my selections you guys don\'t want entry\'s?  An entry is an entry-one betting interest and its no lock an entry will finish where someone has selected it to finish.
I have only one entry on the card in my main selections and two entry\'s chosen as alternate scratches and its too late for me to change it, I\'m going away now for the weekend.  
Whatever you guys decide I\'ll have to play by your late changing rules so If you guys want use the first horses that I listed if its decided not to allow entry\'s. But this insignificant detail if it is so important should have been decided before today so now my vote is to accept an entry.

There is no Restaurant on the corner of Nelson and Union Ave. in Saratoga.
Siro\'s is one block in from Union Ave on Nelson and Fourstardave Way.  A round of drinks is on me at the Siro\'s outside tent opening day after the 9th. for people from the TG office and anyone showing up witn the days TG sheets.
