No Need To Call It

"Some horses ... they say they run like a 'push a button.'

It doesn't no work like that.

Not with anything." - Turo Escalante, "Luck"

@eddiedunks @noneedtocallit Roulette chip ftw

[No Need To Call It @noneedtocallit]

This explains so much.

OK...what the (insert expletive here)!!! How is it acceptable to have what looks like some sort of daytime TV or streaming series playing in the Stewards office??

[Big Cat @BarstoolBigCat]

That’s one of the greatest catches of all time. Absolutely insane. His foot hovered!

@HorseTourneys Congrats @MaxSchnepf and @mdomhokie -- best of luck at the BC!

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

I agree that the tracks don’t care. They are making money hand over fist with the Caws and could give 2 shits less about the everyday gambler. But just like how technology can giveth it can taketh away. Somebody will invent a daily fantasy platform for horse racing where you skip the tote pool. Bet against other horse players every race or in contests. Don’t need the tracks. That can happen

OR

Pressure on lawmakers. There is no way Stronach and NYRA etc should be allowed to own or parter with CAWS. No other sport would ever allow this in a billion years. It’s insider trading. Horse Racing is just flying under the radar and tracks are being as greedy as possible until they are forced to stop

I lived in Wisconsin for the better part of four decades. This still qualifies as a beautiful spring day in my book -- in other words, I'm on my way to Keeneland!

[Nicole Russo @DRFRusso]

It is see-your-breath cold, but the sun is shining for the biggest day of the #Keeneland spring meet.

@cannonshell It does! And I would indeed suspect the general model is roughly what would be done on the thoroughbred side as well.

@eddiedunks @BeMore27 And is NOW complaining that he's not complaining, but, rather, "MERELY OBSERVING" that he suspects the fan was "more hamming it up for the cameras" because "he just wants his gym name to be on national TV for free."

[No Need To Call It @noneedtocallit]

@eddiedunks @BeMore27 Let's also take a moment to acknowledge that this same friend STILL found a reason to complain about this reaction.

[No Need To Call It @noneedtocallit]

@eddiedunks @BeMore27 Minnesota nice.

@larrycollmus with one of the greatest calls of all-time!

[No Need To Call It @noneedtocallit]

Every time I see him work, I think something along the lines of, "Man, @nickluck is just really good at his job." Just casually strolling around the paddock describing the scene, checking in with people as he goes ... amazing stuff. Kudos, Nick -- you're a real pro.

Looks like the track may end up drying out OK by race time, so some of the musings on off track performance may be irrelevant after all. Or not.

Good luck!

Spending more time on horses again now that CBB is wrapping up. Some hypothetical lineups for the Keeneland card today ...

[No Need To Call It @noneedtocallit]

@thoreval @YouTube Pretty sure I've seen the Crows in concert more than any other band. Haven't at all in the past 15 years or so, but five or six times throughout the 00s.

[No Need To Call It @noneedtocallit]

@PatCummingsNTA Genuinely asking because I can't wrap my head around it -- who in this scenario is being protected from what, exactly, by paying out ALL?
