:smoking: Minus 156.00 yesterday

Broke even first race. Second race no where near the exacta. My consolation i picked the winner in all 3 races.
That brings me to the last race which i like talk in length.

Keyed on the 5 horse whose jockey did an excellent job riding this horse. Tried to get the lead but couldn't so the
jockey decided not to burn her horse into a speed duel. Set back and waited for the #3 horse to die which it did and got
inside and won a close wire win over the #4 which i didn't use. The #1 horse hopped at the gate which of course got out
dead last. Then the jockey {female** couldn't control the horse as it took off outside when the horse was in post position #1 ??
Why not stay on the rail?....Because this jockey couldn't control the horse. Obviously this horse finished last because of the incompetence
of this jockey. Secondly and lastly the #2 horse. This is why mediocre jockeys turn good horses into subpar performances.
Geo Franco going 5 wide at the turn at the stretch is the "kiss of death" for winning a race. Yes you can get a piece of the pie [3rd]
but very hard to win. I wish some of these jockeys would enroll into a math class to figure out going more distance then the horses inside
you is not a good thing....And yet they continue to do it.....Sometimes its necessary in a large field because of circumstances but in
a small field?....With a good jockey it should of been 2-5. And this why people migrate to stake races where you have the best jockeys
on board on the best horses. I took a shot on a small claimer race with incompetent jockeys on board with a small field and still got burned.

:smoking: That's my rant and i,m sticking to it. Good Luck everyone today.
