Annoying sayings and noises people make at the track during races.

[Marlin]

The worst thing is the "oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" that accompanies every spill. You can be in the john and instantly know a horse went down.

I don't mind so much the snapping, smacking, yelling and other antics, EXCEPT when it's the resident LOSER rooting for my horse. I still clearly remember Kentucky Derby Day, 1991, at the Birmingham Turf Club, when I was cursed by a loud drunk who began bellowing out my my key horse's number as soon as the gate opened. For a stretch of five out of six races, he was cheering for my nag, none of which even hit the board. It's bad enough to lose 5 races, but to know you're dead in the water 5 seconds into the race is just disheartening....

I suppose that I have heard many of these phrases at the track so often that I have become numb to them, which is why I still love going to the track as opposed to wagering through an ADW from my living room.

The color of the personalities at the track -- the atmosphere -- beats the comfort of home.

....Or the newcomer who cashes a few in a row and says" Wow how long has this place been open?"

I Dont have much Co- Some--Hopefully Capt MT Sees this

No matter the race, the outcome-- I sit in the Cozy Bud Recliner.

This Fool watches jumps---Says 3 words win or lose... " I Knew It" I Knew It
The Change "I ****ing Knew it"

The Average race 20 some odd Minutes----He is still saying it.

Finally I said Thats It-No Mo; bets if your stuck bitching in the prior race

I like The Company BUT---Cmon----I almost shot him--- i knew Hes Gone....

When I was an extra during the filming of the match race scenes in Seabiscuit, I gave 'em some riding and whipping action, about 20 yards worth as they neared the finish. All for naught, as my "method acting" didn't make the final cut.

How about "The Narrator"? You know, the guy who is incapable of having an unexpressed thought. He handicaps aloud. He doesn't shut up during the race, and you always know exactly how much he's up or down.

These guys can ruin your day. Instead of concentrating on 'capping and betting, you spend your time rooting against him and thinking of ways to kill him.

There's also the sore loser.....

I know a guy at EvD who chastises winners,
"Oh you had that one huh? What did ya win...$35 bucks?"
Now, he has a point. Some folks scream like bloody murder for their 4-1 shot to win so they can cash their $5 win bet.
I'll never forget him getting on my case when Thor's Echo and Street Sense won in the BC, both at good mutuels (each paid about $30 to win)...and I had more than a fiver on them.
Sucker...

There's a guy who's handicapping is so good, he'd win 100% of the time.

Unfortunately after some(most) races he whines loudly "Did you see the ride I got by the #*&% jockey? He cost me the race."

"He finished 6th." Someone points out.

"If the jockey didn't ride like a moron, he would've won."

Don't they know that yelling "One time!" implies that they lose all of the other times?

When they yell " One Time " I wonder what line they will they use next time- It can't be " One Time " because they already used up that " One Time ".

[rastajenk]

"One More Time!!" I presume. "Please!"

[Grits]

Yelling the horse's number. Example= "Die 6, Die, c'mon you, SOB, die."

This one gets me. Hear it a lot.

Yuh did see dat? Im get wan big lick fram de hoss.
