I give lots of credit to those who put up their picks on a consistent basis.
It's a very hard game that we try to eek out a daily,weekly,monthly,yearly profit.
To the " lurkers" who make noise when one of us has a bad day, or week. Until you post all your selections consistently then just stay in the bushes or the bar..
Have a great evening and a better tommorrow.

Im driven to reply because due to circumstances beyond my control, Ive found myself in the lurker category sInce october* Though not where I want to be, its where I am now as I sit by my 5mo kids hospital bed with 1 bar signal on my phone.* Free wifi is offered by the childrens hospital but it runs slower than a herd of turtles in molasses or shall I say any horse running on BHP weather track after rain.* I jealous that you and the others - get a chance to read the PPs, watch replays and post your picks.* Youre very fortunate.* I wish I could, but at the present time I cant and Im at peace with that.* Okay, rereading that makes me admit Im lying.* Missing the prep races is KILLING me.* That being said, my time will come and I cant wait until the day I can take my little boy for a drive down to Santa Anita.

There are some hardcore players out there that probably stopped reading after my second sentence, so let me end by saying THANK YOU for your posts, comments, insight, and sometimes inebriated replies (yes, you know who you are lol).* Your comments have lifted my spirits at times.
*
Finally, I completely understand that this type of post doesnt probably belong in this forum so thank you for letting me vent.* When you boil it down we all have something in common we absolutely LOVE this sport!
*
*Good luck to you all.
No replies are necessary and before anyone gives me crap take into consideration it took me 30m to fat finger type.
Just take things one day at a time.

Hang in there buddy.
I got the feeling that this post from cigar was aimed at dirty. I guess those guys are still feuding. This could really be a good one to follow, as Cigar has already thrown down the gauntlet with his 2-1 fillies wager. I think I'll go back to that post and try to stir things up!
Sean, hang in there. If you ever have trouble getting down - shoot my email or call. I know other things are way more pressing, and unfortunately I can't even imagine.
BTW - Yeah, this post was a poorly aimed shot at me. For no reason. I'm pretty sure CigarShop stated his intent to quit posting here, as well (at least that's what it looks like on this screen grab, lol). Guess he had a change of heart and emailed DC.
Why he keeps you in his forum amazes me, guess every family has one of you in it.
We all go way back.
You just showed up, sounding like a decent guy, with good knowledge of Scotch and cigars. I'm sure I wanted to like you just like everyone else, but it's easy to spot a fraud. What happened to your Cigar rankings anyways? And your horses with Chad Brown (correct me if I'm wrong somebody)?
You're just fake. Let it go.
I post my cigar and scotch reviews on Puff.com and Stogiefriends.
I just talk horses here..
Never said I was a big man, just a guy who does his own thing..but atleast I post be it good or bad results..
I've never made an issue until you called me out.. I don't take kindly to that at all from a dime store drunk
shh10.....wow, sorry to hear about your kid having a tough time of it (and you as well). Hope that everything comes out as well as it possibly can. Just said a prayer for you and your family. Just try and stay positive, though i'm sure that's probably difficult. Hang in there.
On another note this was the only forum for sometime I was posting in. I went through some bullshit at LVA Sports Forum and DC can verify as well. At first DC thought I was a fraud because I use!!!! until I posted RIP Bashert which was a real runner from the Baffert barn that broke down during a workout. I was super solid in that forum and had these so call SHARPS questioing if I was a Sharp or Square!!! Those guys were the biggest bunch of frauds I have ever seen. For one instance they made a bad comment about Brett Favre's wife and I told them to watch it as I knew them very well and I do. You probably can google LVA Sports forum and read all the old post. I spend countless hours and my own money to grind out a profit in this game. I hold no preference to any poster in this forum and still cannot believe this BS is going on. I have Dirty's # in my phone as I do Cigar's as well. I have been kind enough to text/email live plays to all that ask at no charge or did I expect it!!!! I have even vouched and leant money to fellow fourm members I meet on here. Well I wish you all the best in the future and you all can find me at FBWinners@aol.com, @fbwinners (twitter) , FBWinners.com or can give me call on m cell as it's posted on my site!!!! I want to wish you all and your family a Happy Easter that is coming up and remember to enjoy life and you only have one shot on ths EARTH!!!!
Regards, Kenny Schmitt aka FBWinners
Cigar, i don't recall if I formally welcomed you to the forum when you joined but if i didn't* welcome aboard.* I haven't been able to read all your posts but thanks for contributing.
FB, just like your picks, your spot on about making the best of our one shot - as well as understanding things could be worse.* My wife and i have been blessed on this journey.* I remember at about week three in the nicu my wife asked why i always erased out sons weight off the whiteboard.* I told her it was because our son was starting to gain more and more weight were some of the other babies in the room (there were eight total) weren't or some were losing weight.* I didn't want to dishearten another mother or father given how fragile our psyches were at that point.* Their kids would get there, but as you know, you want them home as soon as possible.*
I want to acknowledge and thank you for your kind and thoughtful gesture.* I'll be in touch soon, not so much for a gift but I've been wanting to join your site since week 2 (NFL).* I just need things too settle down here first.
JG, what a journey you've had - would you have imagined 28 years ago that your daughter would be singing in the National Cathedral on Easter?!* Truly an amazing and wonderful story. A very Happy Easter to you!
DC, thanks for being the Voice of Reason (VOR) for the Forum!
Lastly, Dirty, it's been your posts I seek out most as much for their information as for their entertainment.* Your handicapping is only rivaled by your wit.* You just crack me up at times. Thanks for that.
That's it for me on this topic. Future posts will be about horses only!
Cheers.
PS sorry about the extra characters in my posts. I found it easier to type my reply in an editor my Android had and paste into a thread. Don't know why it added those.
