Perfect Shirl

Thanks Jim. I was not trying to rub this in anyone\'s face or brag about how smart I am (I proved that on Saturday). I was just curious about why she was left off the analysis, when she jumped off the page to me. I have my answer now, both from TGJB (way too many horses over the two days to include them all) and TGAB (we considered her a bounce candidate following the significant new top) and I understand and accept both answers. But gee whiz, I\'ll think twice about posting here again. I have re-read my post several times and don\'t know why some were so offended by it. Time for another 8-year layoff.

Ace, nothing personal. Just have that rep for being piranhas that we intend to uphold.

If you have the decency to come back and further explain your post (not that you are obligated), I suppose I can tone it down a little. Most redboarders are cheap shot artists who engage in hit and run tactics.

Please understand, I (and many others here, no doubt) feel a fierce loyalty towards TGJB et. al. -- no group of guys has lined my pockets with dough the way they have. The only way I can pay them back is to bite the head off of any forum intruder who might be looking for trouble.

If that wasn\'t your intent, then I apologize.

Rick- So much for the next 8 year layoff...I\'m also very loyal to TG even though I\'m a weekend, big days player only now and on those days I always buy the sheets and/or the analysis. This stuff is awesome.  TGJB bit my head off for a post one time and since I\'m a stranger I don\'t blame him because of the way I wrote it. My bad.  I feel like I know TGAB from hearing him on the radio here in So Cal for so many years. Would love to meet both gentlemen both some day. I accept your apology and admire you for defending TG as I believe in the product also and will be back for more.  Hopefully my future posts will be more tactful.

Ace,

Meeting TGAB is WAY OVER-RATED.........

The radio voice is more than enough.....

[TGJB]

Now I feel bad...

We have some curmudgeons on this board (not me, of course, people who know me know I\'m always in a good mood, especially after f-----g Afleet Again won the Marathon). You can\'t take them (note I did not say us) too seriously. Post away, there will be occasional incoming, big deal. You should see what I get (not all on this board).

Curmudgeon, hmmph...

JB as a service to the TG users who bet NYRA, could you create a TG
profile of Richard Dutrow Jr\'s runners during his \"stay\"?

I have a very liberal co-worker who says that if President Obama is re-
elected for a second term, the true Socialist Obama will emerge. It would
be interesting to track Tricky during the days when he knew the curtain was
drawing close, when all was already lost.

Sure he switched surfaces after he claimed Associate from Linda Rice,but the
move up first off the claim is significant.

41% new tops last 90 days, admittedly small sample (34 runners).

[TGJB]

Yeah, I\'ve been watching. We have the ability to pull all starters for a time period by trainer-- if you remind me at the end of the month we\'ll post sheets for all his starters.

By the way, the NRA is playing a similar game with Obama-- they say the proof that he\'s going to do something to take guns away in his second term is that he hasn\'t done it so far. I\'m not kidding-- the VP of the NRA said it in a speech.
