TGJB Prepares for The Dirty Deed

[Easy Goer]

I notice that my original post, along with a few replies, is missing from this thread \"TGJB Prepares for The Dirty Deed\". Was the deletion a mistake, or do I now belong in the class of \"instigator\". Too bad if that is the case, because it was a legitimate question regarding the long-term downward drift of the figs. [Note that I have no affiliation with any of the feuding factions that have literally made this site \'not worth visiting for weeks on end\'. For I am Paolo, a steppenwolf, who shills for nobody.]

In retrospect, I have to say that some of the drivel is propagated by JB, who seems to always respond to the blatant ruffling of his feathers. A seemingly no-win situation where no-response might be the classier path. At times, your replies seem embarrassing and extremely defensive, considering all your accomplishments at TG; e.g., the web site with all of the products available on-line, the Redboard Room, the wealth of stats on the sheets, the clarity of the sheets (as opposed to some of the other products, where you might as well be reading a moldy old dishtowel), the Race of The Week, the consistency of the numbers...

I was considering posting additional thoughts regarding figure inflation, but I won\'t bother if I am on your delete list. I guess this is one way to test it out!

You are not on the delete list. I was forced to delete a number of messages - not just from this thread - and probably got click-happy.

I just poked around and figured out where I went wrong. The entire thread seems to be restored.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

1- jerry...please add the 5 points

2-in discussing the present system of penalizing \"positives\", the only person that gets hurt when a horse comes up \"positive\" is the owner...he loses the purse...the trainer gets days; his reputation is sullied (ha!) and he goes on vacation, while his assistant trainer conducts business as usual...and for many of the owners who deal with the \"super-trainers\"...they\'ve made so much money already that this is the price of doing business with these guys...i have a different idea....when a trainer has a positive, ALL HORSES owned by that owner are ineligible to race for 15 days...2nd offense-30 days, etc... how many owners are gonna want to deal with that trainer when all he\'s gonna do is write checks, without any cash  inflow?...the answer is NONE...that trainer will soon be out of business...it\'s amazing to me that when you are caught driving drunk your license is immediately suspended, but in racing, trainers can have 10 positives a year and continue to train...do you think my idea has any merit?...your opinion is valued
