IHA press conference at 1pm
« on: June 08, 2012, 10:25:08 AM »
A friend called me earlier asking if I heard about IHA\'s foot problem. Dismissed it as nonsense. Now a press conference. Anyone hear anything?

Clearly the Sport is a Loser. Maybe in the Long Run the Breed wins!!

Embarrassing to be on this Big of a Stage in the Media world and have to step aside. Last Triple Crown candidate Big Brown couldnt finish the race. This one could NOT even make it to the Gate. Time for people to step back and reassess EVERYTHING!!

Nothing personal, but I just can\'t stand it when someone invariably jumps up in situations such as this to make a ridiculous statement about \"missing an opportunity to bet against\".  Everone on this board knows what poor value IHA\'s odds represented in the Belmont, but it doesn\'t make you look smart to lament the \"lost opportunity\" of pushing a couple hundred through the window on other horses. The entire sport is sucking gas and taking shots left and right, so think outside your bubble for 10 seconds.

Dave - Nothing personal but doesn\'t the \"missed opportunity to bet against\" just leave the sport sucking even MORE gas?  Plenty of people were going to go to see IHA win and plenty were going to see him lose to try to make some money.  That\'s the game.  People need their bubbles.

There were 70,000 showing up regardless.
There were another 50,000 coming to see him win.
There were 1,000 coming to see bet against, but still hoping to see history.
There are a dozen that pontificate about the fact he scratched a day early before they made their \"score.\"
