There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Mike,
I watched the race on the Today Show today. I found it amazing that the horse was 15th at the beginning of the final stretch, and weaved its way into first. The owner explained the nipping of the track horse at the end. The rider of the track horse was pulling the reins of Rich Strike and Rich Strike was so wound up that it thought it was still racing and someone other than his jockey was pulling on him.

Mean horse too
Maybe ..... but IMHO the Rider who was trying to guide Rich Strike should have animal cruelty charges lodged against Him. I rode a horse for 8 yrs with the NYC Mounted Police and never would have tolerated His behavior. ( the rider not Rich Strike ) ..... JMHO ... Mike :thumbup:

I used to bet on the Derby for 31 years, but after what happened last year, no more. The winner was disqualified about 3 weeks later for doping, & the trainer (Baffert) was disbarred from ever entering another horse in this race. I had picked the 2 place horse to win, & played the Exacta - 2nd & 3rd place horse correctly. Did they bother to do the right thing & honor the real winning tickets? NO. This incident cost me approx. $325.00 on 2 separate $2.00 bets. NEVER AGAIN!!
