any of u cats into the sport?
No.
The names they give the horses make me Angry.
i used to be when i was in college. i was half decent at picking harness racing. haven't kept up on it in a while.
i think its a great sport...u can make some money if your good at handicapping....
Yeah I Made A Few Horse Racing Threads Before With No Results Here. I Enjoy It I'm Not Big Into I Usually Only Catch The Big Races Like Triple Crowns And The Travers And Shit. I Know All The Jockeys And Trainiers For The Most Part. I Try To Get To Belmont Racetrack At Least Once A Year. I'm In A Huge Drought Though I swear The LAst Race I Won Ghostzapper Was The Winner.
big brown should crush this field today....
Yeah I Think He Will I'm Been Playin Around With Triples To Much I'm Only Going With Exactas Today Maybe Big Brown Kentucky Bear.
big brown aint playing!!!!!!! off to the belmont......
I used to bet often on it, I was winning a lot at first then started losing a lot, I just have a bet now and then these days. Keep posting your tips.
This site aint bad for some free tips - http://www.dailynaps.co.uk/
I hope big brown wins but I wont play him
casino drive going to really push big brown....big brown in for a battle
Tommorrows The Race Belmont Is Unforgiving On Horses. Casino Drive Is Def Breed For The Belmont. I'm Hoping Big Brown Pulls It Out I've Wanted To See A Triple Crown Winner For A Long Time. Who Knows With The Crack In His Hoof They Say It's All Good Though. If He Wins This Hopefully He'll Race Curlin.
Wow I Just Heard Breaking News On Mike And The Maddog Show Casino Drive Might Not Be Able To Race Tommorrow He Stepped On A Rock And Is Limping. They Wont Scratch Him Till Tomm To See If He Can Possibly Bounce Back.
big brown just didnt show up....nick zito the man! hell of a trainer
i think the best part of horse racing is the names. just doesn't do anything for me.
I started getting into this and a few other
money and sports
The 'sport' seems pretty shady.
Shady in the treatment of horses or daily activities carried out by the sport?
I don't really think it's a sport. For starters, I doubt it would exist without the gambling. Horse racing is something to bet on rather than really being successful because of the racing itself. I'm not knocking it as a whole, I just don't really see it as a sport.
I can accept that, point taken!Quote:

its just not as popular as it use to be...but i always liked the sport.....
Sport my ass. I like watching humans compete.
I'm look at some articles reagarding your post. It seem officials from horse racing are affiliated with the casino'sQuote:

Is that the channel where they show horse racing where the little guy is sitting in a cart?
i think the names are funny as hell.
other than that i couldnt care less about horse racing.
Well The Kentucky Derbys Coming Up I Want Revenge Had A Crazy Race At The Wood That Impressed Me. Came Out Of The Gate Werid Gave The Field A 3 Length Lead Off The Start Got Boxed In And Still Found A Seam To Come Back And Win. With All The Adversity He Faced I Was Impressed He Bounced Back. If He's The Fav I Think I Wont Touch Him Though.
I Bet The Wood And Of Course Lost, Spanning My Losing Streak To Like Two Years. I Always Go To The Belmont Racetrack Like A Week After The Triple Crown Races End And If I Dont Win One Triple Crown Race Or On That Day I'm Giving It Up.
Quality Road The Fav To Win The Kentucky Derby Has a Quater Crack In His Hoof But They Say He'll Still Race But I'm Sure He Wont Be The Fav Anymore Considering What Happened To Big Brown Last Year. Unfortunatly Paupelmouse Or How Ever the Fuck You Spell It Is Out Of Contetion.
Should Be A Good Field Cant Wait For Shit To Get Going.
Kentucky Derby Is Tomorrow It's A Tough Race To Call It Always Is With A Field Of 20 Which Is Just Ridiculous.
I Think Out OF The 20 About 6 Or 7 Got A Shot
I Want Revenge
Pioneer Of The Nile
Dunkirk
Freasian Fire
Regal Ransom
Papa Clem
I'm Probably Gonna Go With A Triple Of I Want Revenge/Dunkirk/Musket Man Which Might Be A Reach But You Never Know.
I Might Play Either Regal Ransom Or Papa Clem In A Triple With Pioneerof The Nile And Freason Fire Because I Feel Atleast One Of The Top 3 Horses Freasan Fire Pioneer Or I Want Revenge Are Gonna Come In.
But My Thoughts Can All Change By Tomorrow Especially When The Odds Start Changing.
Good Luck To Anyone Betting Tomorrow.
It's The Kentucky Derby Tomorrow And Not One Person Has Come In Here Horse Racing Really Is Dying.
Anyway I Was Listening To WFAN Sports Radio And Someone Called In And Said They Were Thinkin About Getting Completely Rid Of Synthetic Tracks In America Because The Gamblers Are Against It.
I Would Love That Because It Is A Hard Thing To Call Look At I Want Revenge Looked Unimpressive On Synthetic But Really Good On Dirt. Curlin Was The Same Way. It's Tough To Call How Horses Are Going To Cross Over From Synthetic To Dirt Pioneerof The Nile, Regal Ransom, Papa Clem Thats The Big Question Mark With Them It Shouldnt Be That Way They Should All Run On The Same Service.
I Dont Know Maybe I'm Biased Being From New York And All The Tracks Are Dirt Maybe People On The West Coast See It Differently. Even Overseas And Canada Are Big On It And Turf Racing. I Just Dont Like It.
Is Secretariat racing tomorrow?
It's About Time I Had The Triple Of Rachel Alexandra, Mind That Bird, Musket Man For The Preakness I Only Put A Dollar On It But I'll Take It. Mind That Bird Looked Impressive If He Had A Cleaner Trip He Would Have Probably Have Taken It. I Like Him To Win The Belmont He's Breed For It And The Track Suits Him Being A Deep Closer.
they gotta get rid of that poly track shit! the belmont should be interesting even without the philly running...
Yeah I'm Starting To Get A Feeling That Mine That Bird Might Bounce But This Race Is Suited For Him. Chartiable Man Is Also Breed For The Belmont Lemon Drop Kid Is His Sire And Hes 2 For 2 At The Belmont. Dunkirk I Dont Know What To Expect From Him He Had A Weak Showing In The Kentucky But You Can Possibly Chalk That Up To Dealing With That Many Horses In One Field. Should Be Intresting To See How He Bounces Back.
and they ran the bredders cup on that poly track bullshit..
Yeah I Was Actually Gonna Up This The Day Of The Bredders Cup Yeah The Second Year In A Row On Poly Which I Dont Get Because The Usually Switch The Tack Every Year But They Didnt This Year. Of Course All The European Horses Dominated The Day Thats Why I Played A Couple In Triples Because You Knew One Of Them Would Hit The Board That All They Run On In Europe.
Anyway Zenyatta Impressed And Made An Argument For Horse Of The Year Over Racheal Alexander I Wish These Two Got To Race But It Wasnt Meant To Be.
