FUJI STAKES G2 - I was on Ecoro Alba for it's amazing training sessions until I saw this stat:
Since Jan 1st 2025, Gate 14 of Tokyo 1600m turf has a 1.6% winrate, just 1 of 63 😱
Sierra Leone, 2026 - 293 covered of 23,932 = 1.22%
Equinox, 2026 - 219 covered out of 12,944 = 1.69%
Deep Impact, 2013 - 262 covered of 10,414 = 2.52%

Every year you say the same thing and every year you look stupid. Last year another great example. We had Renegade who won the Arkansas Derby and was second in the Kentucky Derby. You’ll be wrong again, but so far, in October of their 2YO season, you look “so smart.”
I sent this in a reply to hold back the Repole Renegades from attacking you. 😂
It's a shame to see industry leaders wither up and fall out of love with the game and it's a shame to see them blame it on horsemen who've done nothing wrong
Waiting respectfully for this genre of posting to go away
Another example of what I’m talking about with the new model releases
These are all fine. They look nice. You could fool a lot of people with these
But you’ve seen it all before. Nothing new is being created
Where is the new AI art? Things that have never been seen before or even imagined?
Art in the early 20th century was radical. You saw things you’d never seen before. It made people mad. The public mostly hated it. More than a century later, we still haven’t collectively reconciled ourselves to what it all meant. It is still not a “normal art form”
We aren’t creating anything like this with AI. Maybe our imaginations are lacking. Maybe we just don’t know what to do with it yet. Maybe the models are already too sophisticated and beyond our ken. Who knows. But something’s missing. There’s just nothing “here” right now
People who think Sovereignty is dodging Forever Young must think Mott is going to freak out when he sees the BCC entry list

This is my least favorite way so far to show 6/1
At this point, I'd prefer Kentucky Downs raises the minimum win bet to $10 so we actually get a useful number
As a horseracing fan I get exposed to Greyhound racing clips every so often and after 5 years of exposure, it is starting to grow on me
