 I, for one, am not a Chicken Littlep
 I believe horsemanship is being lost to the quick dollar
and has been for a human generation
If Jason Servis wins the Kentucky Derby, which I don’t believe he will, then yeah, the sky falls. Our gravity pit collapses upon us. Like a black hole. A fundamental collapse of our human will, our desire at its most basic, ie, to survive.
Why don’t we all just take a few deep breaths of fresh air, early in the morning is especially fresh
Really we can do this.
The survival of American horseracing really is about the horses. Fundamentally about horsemanship. Though there is no horsemanship without horses and the better the horseman, the better the horse. Read horsemen, not veterinarians.

Wooo Hooo!
I hear you! ,
JB believes he is in the business of horse racing, not even the actual horse breeders are in the business of horse racing according to him*, mind you, but he believes he is.
I believe, in actuality, he is in the business of gambling and peddling gambling data. A horseman he is not, though his data can be very good, very useful.
And so is the DRF. TG distills the DRF, and other data factors, for those who can’t or won’t take the time to learn to read all those little numbers at once.
Likewise sabermetrics, the numbers guys don’t play ball. They consult and get paid for it but their data analysis. They are not ball players.

*re Lasix posts I’ve felt a strong need to seriously respond to but must yet make the time. I shall.

Pimlico has become a “dump” due to years and years of willful and strategic neglect by the Stronach gang
Stronach has his prejudices
