if you are a regular horse bettor you have certainly called another bettor a dumbass or worse for plays they may or may not have made.

i still disagree about your opinion of the column.
the finley guy has written worse columns.

i was a victim of the media hype machine on yesterdays' preakness.
i did not bet the race or anything connected to as i thought orb was a winner and the price was too small.this meant i did not look seriously at the others to win only to toss them
everywhere you turned they were all picking orb and projecting a triple crown winner.i joined the bandwagon since i have always been a shug fan.
people actually bet titletown 5 down to 22-1.itsmuluckyday was worth a shot i thought but i did nothing

and now onto a wide open belmont w what looks like  a bad crop of 3 yos so far this yr

Its nice to hear they caught someone, and Allard is a perfect candidate to make an example of. However, there are many more currently racing at the Big M and others tracks doing the same thing. The tracks can't stop the beard trainers, so not much will really be accomplished imo.

And thats horse racing folks!

I don't mind him as a writer, but this article is ridiculous, which is why I'm thinking he's trying to get fired.  How can you tell people how dumb they are for letting Oxbow go off at 15-1, and bashing them for picking Orb? HE PICKED ORB! 'Orb's numbers were inflated by the mud' What numbers? This horse didnt have beyers that towered over his competition. The derby setup for this horse nicely and the Preakness looked like it would be the same. How Oxbow got away with :48 and 1:13 I'll never know... Then he goes off on some useless history he's had at Belmont Park. The article in itself is one of the worst things ever put on ESPN, and that's saying something.

imo it was hard to believe that it was still rated fast.
just like in the derby i did like oxbow some if it came up sloppy.
the problem for me was i rarely played pimilico so i had no real clue

i strongly disagree.
jay cronley is one of us horse bettors who plays the regularly and has strong opinions.i always read his columns and have exchanged multiple emails with him.
i also think he is the author of let it ride which was made into a movie starring richard dreyfus.

I honestly thought this article was a joke when I started to read it. If ESPN cares about Horse Racing at all, this guy will be let go. What a waste of space.
