CD 11/17

[TGJB]

I notice that the Ragozin site has posted the sheets for 11/17 CD. Thoro-Graph for that day is available for comparison in the Red Board Room.

Along with that of all the other tracks we publish.

As we do every day.

Since there is a thread criticizing the amazing and insightful Race of the Week feature, turnabout is fair play.

Here\'s a great exchange regarding a race on this 11/17 CD card.

Robes -- \"For a 4yo I\'d lean to reading his line on the flat side--a definite use, but not one that I\'d key from an outside post. As a possible longshot key, I\'m considering the one with the =5+ top last April with a little bit of a recent forward moving pattern--and unlike last time when I made a post like this, I\'d appreciate it if no one follows with a post naming the horse. Good luck.

Tiznow (Beau) -- \"I see that one marching foward again.....good call\"

Since the horse in question (Dynameux) finished up the track, one can only wonder what \"good call\" Beau is referring to. Maybe now they give/get credit just for picking longshots whether they run or not.

The \"definite use, but not one I\'d key\" is a fabulous variation on \"use lightly...\" And of course, Robes liked the $66 winner, but he kept that one under his hat. I hear they\'ll be selling online soon too. HP

  HP: Since you mentioned Tiznow/Beau:

   The great Israeli diplomat Abba Eban just died. From the NY Times obituary:

    \"He also honed his wit and coined a classic Eban phrase, initially used against the Nazi information minister, Joseph Goebbels: \"Every time he opens his mouth, he subtracts from the sum of human knowledge.\"

[HP]

Alydar,

Beau\'s got his snappy comeback up there. Eban doesn\'t have to worry about losing his place in \"Bartlett\'s.\" Robes must have to run down the hall to get into the bathroom with Beau kissing his ass all the time. HP

I dont know about all of this. I havnt used TG in awhile but last night i downloaded Hoo Park and made a nice score on the 4th race a horse called FATHER TONY payed 25.40 only 7 horses were in the whole race. Go check him out and see how this horse looked so good.

BAM

    HP,

     Tiznow/Beau is a strange blend: 3/4 asskisser, 1/4 cheeky chappie.

Congrats Kevin. HP

Not that Beau is anything other than a sycophant with a very tiny brain, but Dynameaux finished in fourth, less than 2 lengths from winning it all at 30-1.

I\'m glad we all agree that these boards are no place for sycophants, right HP?

[TGJB]

I\'m going to try and head this off right now, before the allies get pulled in, and this becomes WWIII. HP has not only not been a sycophant, he said stuff about me here that I had to delete, in general has taken me to task several times (he\'s always wrong), and has caused fierce off-board arguements (he\'s always wrong).

Boy, are you wrong. Almost as wrong as HP.

[HP]

A short price horse won the race and two other longshots finished ahead of Dynameaux.
Robes now joins Everybody In America who plays the horses who can talk about 30-1 shots they played that finished fourth. If you needed it for the superfecta I\'m happy if you had it.

You\'re entitled to your opinion. If this makes me a sycophant, so be it. I\'ve been called worse. HP

For the love of God, please ignore the surreal ridiculousness and stupidity of Mr. Alesi, as his mood and self-esteem spiral ever downward. This all started many years ago when the people in an adjoining apartment detonated a roach \"bomb\" while little Beau was sleeping next door. An enterprising roach decided to nest in his ear, and I can still remember the screams while the roach was being extracted with a pair of tweezers. Beau has not had a decent night\'s sleep since that fateful day, and I have waged a continuous if unsuccessful war against these vengeful and sinister creatures ever since. So while it may very well be true that Mr. Alesi has a tiny brain, there is an explanation for his conduct and there is no need to continue to dwell on the matter.

[Alydar in California]

OK, Roachkiller. I need to take a guess at who you are. Mandown? Or are you the guy on the Sheets board who puts those damn ***s all over the place and writes as if he gets paid by the comma?

[Marc At]

\"A short price horse won the race and two other longshots finished ahead of Dynameaux.\"

Yes, that would be just about the second most negative way of looking at it, right behind \"up the track\". Perhaps this is semantic, but as definitions of \"up the track\" go, Dynameuax\'s performance on Sunday just doesn\'t work, IMO.

 
\"Robes now joins Everybody In America who plays the horses who can talk about 30-1 shots they played that finished fourth.\"

Except it was Beau who talked it up-- not Robes. He admitted he didn\'t hit the race. To use Beau as an example of \"they\" giving credit where it is not due strikes me as more than a little disingenuous. A company is only as smart as its most foolish customer?


\"If you needed it for the superfecta I\'m happy if you had it.\"

No super offered on the race.

\"You\'re entitled to your opinion.\"

Thanks so much.

\"If this makes me a sycophant, so be it. I\'ve been called worse.\"

I apologize if I misunderstand where you\'re coming from on this-- I just can\'t figure out what other reason you\'d have for starting such a flimsy thread/complaint. Like most reasonable people, I gave up reading posts from Tiznow long ago-- I had to go back to find the ROTW thread you use as justification for this topic, which was started over there by... Tiznow. And greeted rather poorly.

If TGJB wants to question his competitor\'s numbers or business practices in an effort to either defend Tgraph or promote his business, it makes for fair game and interesting dialogue.

But blaming The Sheets for anything out of that idiot Beau\'s mouth, ugh.

[HP]

I didn\'t just make comments about what Beau said in the original post I made. I don\'t blame the Sheets for what comes out of Beau\'s mouth. I\'m sorry my post wasn\'t up to TGJB\'s scintillating standards. HP

[TGJB]

What are you mad at me for? I\'m on your side, pal.
