@richnilsen @keeneland Nothing like being an idiot that needs to bet on badminton and waterfall and leave us the f*** alone. You have no clue

Nothing quite like getting $18 when you think you're getting $30. @keeneland do better

@goofonroof @blindadosalas1 From now on you're going to be anointed expert on every ride and will be calling on you to decide what's cheating and what's not and how you lost and how you want and how everything so f***** up in racing and they cheat they cheat they cheat we know we can count on Vick to tell

@blindadosalas1 I don't consider that DANGEROUS. Over zealous and aggressive. But not dangerous.

#Hipismo Ocurrió esta tarde en #Keeneland (Race 7) JOEL ROSARIO 🇩🇴 afuera, con una conducción peligrosa cerró más de la cuenta a FLAVIEN PRAT 🇫🇷 que venía pegado al riel, impidiendo un avance firme. Al final BRIAN HERNÁNDEZ JR. 🇺🇸 "pescó en río revuelto."

@racing_dudes You need to get a different hobby try badminton girls hockey or water polo thank you very much you'll thank me

Having a hard time understanding how Book’em Danno didn’t kick on there. Wow.

@goofonroof @JaredisBackBaby @EVDRCH What happened was the jockey was afraid of being criticized by you. So he put the course under a lot of pressure tons of pressure kept going more pressure more pressure so that he wouldn't be open to people like you criticizing him for not riding hard. New nickname killer Vic

@JaredisBackBaby @EVDRCH What happened?

Just saw a horse flip at @EVDRCH and they raced it anyways, pure malpractice

@goofonroof @FinPowrie We can't accept that Vic. Now that you set your president you need your drone on and on about every last detail about every ride that people are talking about come on now don't cheat us out of their wonderful opinion there buddy you are an expert jockey and you know everything

@FinPowrie I like the word IMPROPER. Don't feel it was overtly dangerous.

STEWARDING 101: IMPROPER RIDING good example of a rider riding improperly - opens inside rein - directs horse inwards - no attempt to straighten before contact - uses whip when mount pressures inside runner. Prima facie charge of Improper (maybe Foul in USA) Riding. fp

@Togabball @FanDuelTVMike Did anybody ask you Matt defort did anyone inquire as to your f****** stupid opinion you big mouth low life a******

@FanDuelTVMike Aqueduct racing this time of year is pathetic, but how you bring that up is a joke with the state of racing in CA. You will need a new job, save the jokes, we tune in to watch smart handicappers, not comedians

@raypaulick @keenelandracing They're trying to cheat everybody but they won't get away with it Ray cuz you're on it man you know when they're cheating all these horse racing it's all about cheating. That's the only thing they do yes they want you to lose whether you win or lose their cheating believe me

Someone at @keenelandracing has some splaining to do. Winner U Devil You is 14-1 after crossing the wire, then 13-1 a minute later, then pays $18.74 at 8-1 final odds. Keeneland said they were cycling bets faster than ever before. This is ridiculous.

@CraigMilkowski About 20 years ago Todd was on TVG and he says a contest for some swag pick the winner of turf Paradise it was like a Tuesday race and then also for a tiebreaker the time. I won because nobody else knew about how fast the times are they were like four claimers

@ermstein38387 I know all about it. I have made speed figures for that track for a few decades or more. Read the replies. This was an April Fool's joke, albeit a mediocre one. It was, in fact, a timing error.

I'll be honest, I assumed this was another timing error at Turf Paradise. But, it turns out it is in fact a new 6.5 furlong track record. The previous track record was 1:13.48. (Apparently, the chart caller didn't believe the time either as they aren't in the official chart)

@realmikealosco @ToddTVG @UrbnHandicapper @KentuckyDerby @ronflatter Fox and nyra have already announced they're going to replace the whole thing so try not to be so dramatic there sweetheart

@ToddTVG @UrbnHandicapper @KentuckyDerby @ronflatter TVG was the heart of horse racing for a long time. It will be missed. And who is going to teach the next gen of horse players?

I hadn’t planned on posting anything on Social Media until @KentuckyDerby Week, but Two things brought me out of hibernation for a Day; the announcement of TVG/FDTV phasing out, and a call from @ronflatter I’ve always admired Ron’s work and I was especially moved by what he wrote about TVG’s impact, and the challenges moving ahead for Horse Racing with its impending extinction. In other words, Ron was on a shortlist of people I would say ‘yes’ to. Ultimately my conversation with him on his Podcast was cathartic for me. He gave me the chance to not just talk about the finality of TVG/FDTV, he graciously let me recount some of the seminal moments along my nearly 27 years there. And that is what I believe strongly about this much discussed topic in our Sport, the end of TVG/FDTV, the History of it can be a roadmap to the Future. Through the stops and starts, triumphs and setbacks, the First Network dedicated solely to Horse Racing, and the Third channel into the niche Space of Networks dedicated to one Sport - after the Golf Channel & Tennis Channel - TVG made History for a Sport that has as rich a history as any. Everything is of its time, in the case of TVG it was ahead of its time, but eventually that advantage can fade and here we are. As you can tell, I could talk endlessly on the topic that has been most of my Life to this point, and Ron was kind enough to give me lots of runway. However, I hope what comes across as you listen is that an ending does not define the totality of the Journey. It may be the last step, but it’s one of many. I’m immeasurably thankful for every step, especially the first one. Whether good times or bad, I’m always humbled by the connection we made with our audience. I’m heartened by the public conversations that have taken place over the last week because in all ways it led back to the importance of what TVG was, and in a way not only reminded everyone of the Legacy, but celebrated it too. For me, and I believe for Horse Racing, it’s now time to move on together and create something even more exciting. There are already some inspiring ideas being put forth. As a Minnesota Native I’ll conclude this reflection with a line from one of the greatest MN Poets of all-time: “They say everything can be replaced They say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every person who put me here…” - Bob Dylan horseracingnation.com/news/Flatter_P…

@CraigMilkowski You're obviously not familiar with that racetrack try and keep this stuff to yourself until you know what you're talking about it records always very very fast times even for lower level

@goofonroof @CarlosGArango So extremely disappointed in you I thought for sure you had an idea of what the race really means and The taming of 1100 lb for a minute and a half. What an idiot you turned out to be it's not a machine you idiot. It's not a baseball bat it's an animal

@CarlosGArango A GREAT video. It shows the difference between a maximum effort and less than maximum effort. Date of the race and circumstances are meaningless. It demonstrates she CAN be urged aggressively with an animated hand ride. There seemed to be no negative response to those tactics.

Buen vídeo con respecto a la polémica de ayer en parx. “Al caballo no le pueden pegar y tampoco le gusta que lo apuren”. Sea usted el juez entre estas dos montas, ambas sin uso de la fusta pero con diferentes recursos. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

@MrKenRudulphTV You've all watched too many old horse racing movies where the premises the races fixed. What in the heck you need to bet some other sport if you think this is what goes on and they go to all this trouble in a ticky tack freaking midweek race or whatever you just driving me crazy

The jockey explains his ride. The agent explained the ride. The trainer explained the horses idiosyncrasies. The video supports his explanation and still we have folks who outright refuse to let it go. Now…do you see why mainstream media and the general public want absolutely nothing to with the people in this sport? Now you know. Thank God I got paid because my job for 17 years was to sell this to the public. Impossible. 😳

@MrKenRudulphTV I wish some of you would honestly go die you hate animals you're not happy unless the jockey beats the living crap out of your horse for you to get dollars back? You claim the natural thing is for him to beat the living crap out of it and he went against nature you're evil

@AI_Acceleration Right On!

@MrKenRudulphTV Ruiz’s agent, Troy Matty, vouched for him. But white people in general are inherently racist and no matter what the facts are, they will be whitewashed and Ruiz will be attacked, guaranteed. Ruiz is NOT Iranian, not even close. #parxracing #parx #eliseoruiz #paulickreport

@goofonroof I'm shocked to see Vic stauffer align himself with people whose main complaint is their losers losers loser Vic now you're with them people yuck never thought it would happen in a million years. Breaks my heart I thought you were a champion handicapper but you're just a loser

@MrKenRudulphTV Ken, explanations are irrelevant. They're not part of the rulebook. This issue boils down to ONE thing. Did the jockey or did he not give a maximum effort to gain the highest possible placing? Period.

@goofonroof @gporter812 I've been a big supporters of you Vic but that's it I don't want nothing to do with you anymore. You're being absolutely like a total a****** about this. Bluntly the best effort to win was exactly with the kid did and the public knew that the horses want a bunch of times. Goodbye

@gporter812 @MrKenRudulphTV That's wordplay. The spirit of the rule is clear.

@onlywayoutallin @paulickreport @1GR8FULGUY Thank you very much your experience knowledgeable these other people are really starting to bother me I wish they wouldn't come around the track and that Ray Pollock he's unbearable

@paulickreport @1GR8FULGUY Thats how Bailout Billy is always ridden watch all replays. Remember these are animals some horses hate any sort of encouraging

Pennsylvania stewards are investigating jockey Eliseo Ruiz's ride aboard Bailout Billy in today's ninth race at Parx. More: paulickreport.com/horseplayers/p…

@brew291 @paulickreport How stupid could you possibly be if they wanted to rig a thing would they make it so obvious and apparent how stupid can you possibly be you're a loser you're a loser you're a loser go away

@paulickreport Even if no encouragement was the order, at least extend the head for the finish, this is rigged.

@paulickreport I heard they're investigating Ray for being an idiot and an a****** who's bothering our sport and causing a lot of problems in our sport you negative a****** you negative prick
