  Well, I just got an email from \"Informed Eyes\" (now there\'s a term that needs to be consigned to the dustbin), and, assuming it is accurate, there have been 17 races run at that distance this meet, and only 4 of the 17 have been won wire to wire, with the most recent wire-to-wire victory being back on August 1st.

Rich,

Actually 9 during the period I was referring to with 4 wires( and two others lead most of the way and finished close) within 8 days of QR\'s pathetic loose lead unpressured no excuse effort.

Ahem, would you like to go head to head with someone with \"informed eyes\" before you put it in the dustbin.I can arrange it, let me know.

The period you were referring to was, in your words, \"all meet.\" So how about if you give me the \"all meet\" wire stats at the time that you made your assertion?

[miff]

Ok Rich you\'re correct,closers have dominated at the 1 1/8 mile and QR had every right to get run over.

How come you ignored the invite to pick up easy money from someone with \"informed eyes\" Don\'t you like easy money??

I\'ll get to your attempted subject-changer (whatever it is) in a minute, Miff, but first I\'d like to finish the subject at hand.

You wrote:

\"Horses all meet have been wiring at the 1 1/8 th mile distance to boot.\"

And of course this turned out to be complete and total nonsense.

Then, backtracking almost off the face of the earth, you wrote:

\"Actually 9 during the period I was referring to with 4 wires\"

What period, exactly, was this? What date to what date? The reason I ask is that it was written by you, which means it, too, probably needs to be looked at more closely.

[miff]

Rich,

You are boring me and I\'m sure the board.I made comments from my memory of watching and catching several wire jobs at the 1 1/8, a couple on one day. I did not go back and check it stat wise. The point was that QR had no excuse on several levels,loose or not.Pssst 25% wires at that distance is above par anyway, duh!

Now lets get to the heart of your smart ass comment re \'informed eyes\' and put up or shut up!Quess you\'re just a board troll with no real knowledge/opinion or cajones(sp)

Thank you Mike for saving me the trouble ... Without mentioning statistics I would also stand by any comment that said \"speed in routes has been particularly dangerous\" all meet. I do concede however that my wagering has been surgical in nature ... picking my spots and finishing off the board, losing the patient ... Never said I was a Dr. Lucky for me the Raffie/Rosario show has kept me in the game until next weekend, when I crush Arlington ... Best of weekend lads (& ladies) !!!

   Ah, yes! One should be ever vigilant against the soporific, which brings to mind Clive James\' review of Leonid Brezhnev\'s memoirs:

\"Here is a book so dull that a whirling dervish could read himself to sleep with it. If it were to be read in the open air, birds would fall stunned from the sky.\"

(Credit to Christopher Hitchens for passing these lines along in his grand memoir, \"Hitch 22,\" and may he somehow, please, find his way back to good health.)

Nice. I\'ll tell you what. Rich is a good friend and the best handicapper I know. He does have very little patience for garbage being spewed as fact. But you come up with a format and Rich and I will gladly go head to head with you and \'informed eyes\'. I do like easy money.

50k in action a day isn\'t enough for you?

Mistake.

[miff]

JB,

I know more than you think about what type of player I am dealing with.There isn\'t a Kool Aid drinker on the planet that I won\'t take on head to head. Check with Richie(raggie)how he make out against me using inane sheet racing theories and phony wide RAG figures.

Would love to see the 2 of you post races in advance with explanations behind selections.

Instead of getting into a \"limb\" swinging contest, put up a modest sum of money and the winner donates it to the racehorse charity of choice.
