Now that Draynay has officially been banished from the Bloodhorse blog, the possibility exists that he'll be posting here even more frequently than before.
I don't have a problem with anyone's presence here as long as they behave themselves, but this has gone on for long enough. I do not appreciate Draynay's incessant posting of needless drivel (such as finding a thousand new ways to say Fluke or Derby mud winner). He invades threads for the sole purpose of disrupting things, and attempting to stir up hostility and frustration among the members of this board for his own personal amusement.
I don't wish to ban the guy (and i'm not in charge of that anyway), but this has gotta stop. So i invite all the other members of HorseRacingTalk to join me in simply IGNORING THE GUY. Do not respond to him (unless he's engaging in proper conversation), either in his threads or in other people's threads. I feel this is the only way to solve the problem (short of banning). I realize the temptation exists to call him out on his stupidity, but everyone must bear in mind that it's highly unlikely he means half the stuff he says anyway. He's just doing it to provoke us......do not reward him by responding. When we do, we're only adding fuel to his fire.
DRAYNAY - Stop being an ass, and become a useful addition to this forum. If you think you can. Otherwise, leave. Regardless of whether the other members join me in my mission, i will not waver. I will no longer sink to your level. My goal here at HorseRacingTalk is to provide useful news matter and opinions, and engage in intelligent handicapping conversation. My goal is NOT to go back-and-forth with Draynay all day long as he sits at his computer and decides which horse he wants to slander next. It's a big waste of time and energy.
So please, everyone, IGNORE DRAYNAY until he finally starts behaving. And Draynay, start behaving.

Ignore Draynay ? Discreet when have ever called you a name or slandered you ?
There are numerous people on this site that continue time and time again to call me names and if you notice I do not return the favor. I simply talk about horses and give my opinions.
Get a grip Discreet there are several people that I talk to by private email that can't understand why you and others get so nasty. We don't agree on many things leave it at that. You have and angle here and you are trying to drive people to your site and I get it. Me I am just here to talk horses.
Because my opinions are not shared by you and some others you feel the best way to silence me is to ignore me. It sounds like you are just a bit bitter and angry about something. I have no personal beef with any on here. I don't even know you or others on this blog. To be honest there is a few good people that email me and they know who they are and they are very cool and have been very nice. And then there is a few like you that want to run the board and tell people what to do. If you have your own site why don't you go run it and quit telling others what to do.
I had a blast this Triple Crown Season and look forward to the Travers and the Breeders Cup. My opinions will be my own and we will not always agree but isn't that what makes a blog interesting. If we all agreed all the time think how boring that would be.
I am a horse racing fan and a handicapping expert. Like most I have my good days and my bad but unlike most I am willing to put myself out there and take the good with the bad. A few days ago Calvin Borel guaranteed a win and he lost. He was dead wrong and didn't even come in second what should we do to Calvin for being wrong. What would you like to ban him from?
And you MUST know that it's not just me who feels this way. Bloodhorse was throwing a party when they knew you couldn't post for a month. We (not i) have made our feelings known here as well. I can appreciate that you like to bring a little "pizzazz" (for lack of a better word) to your postings, but you're WAY too over-the-top, and that can only be by design. Joking around is one thing, doing it all day every day is something else. It's clear from your above post that you're capable of discussing things in a normal manner. And that's all we want, some freaking normalcy. Is it too much to ask that we can get through a single thread with hearing you say Derby mud winner 3 times? Just chill out a little. I'm sure you're a nice enough guy. I'm not saying we have to agree on our handicapping, in fact it's better when people don't agree. That's what these horseracing forums are for, back-and-forth discussion. Not belittling other's opinions (and you're right, it does work both ways).
So let me see if I have this right. You are upset because I call the Derby mud winner a FLUKE.
I do that Discreet because he is a fluke winner of the mud filled Derby. I told everyone who would listen the horse would not win and may not even hit the board. HE GOT 3rd in front of Charitable Man. I also told everyone who would listen he would not beat DUNKIRK and he didn't. What I did expect is CM and Summer Bird to switch spots but it didn't work out that way. A silly MAIDEN winner won the Belmont.
The first two races since the fluke Derby mud winner won he has lost to a filly and a Maiden winner. He has raced a total of 5 times this year and won once. The other 4 loses on dry fast tracks. Like it or not your even money hopeful in the Belmont is a fluke winner of the Kentucky Derby. Discreet it is what it is. Its a shame Rachel Alexandra wasn't in the race... a 1:37 mile ? you talk about dying speed up front. The Derby mud winner got the perfect pace yesterday and still couldn't close the deal.
My point is Discreet I saw the horse for what he really is. Everyone told me how wrong I was on how he was going to win the Preakness and how he was going to win the Belmont. Well he won nothing just like me. The big winner of the day was my partner Alex who bet Ken all day because he felt it was Karma after what happend to him last year aboard Big Brown.
His simple 4 horse super box keying the 4 paid off very nicely... and all I had to do was chip in 20 bucks....lol... that's racing.
I guess you are another angry Derby mud winner fan. Sorry your horse got beat again. He should be getting use to it this year. So far his record for the year is ....loss...loss...win...loss....loss
Will he win another race all year... doesn't look like it. :smoking:
WOW ..CATMAN..YOU ASK US TO IGNORE DRAYNAY,NOW YOU JUST POSTED ON HIS / HER / ITS THREAD...THE WORD FOR THAT IS "HYPOCRITE"......
That being said, after i posted in his Rachel Alexandra thread, i started reading another thread where he was on his Derby mud winner kick again, and then i felt kinda stupid. So i guess i'll have to watch it.
RULE 41C ..IF THE BOSS IS CALLED ANYTHING THAT WILL INTERFERE WITH HIS CAPPIN ALL MEMBERS MUST STEP IN AND SNUFF IT OUT...
His Ave Right Now Is 9.65
