    “My Adventures with Your Money” now on sale—but America’s most notorious con man would approve if you stole a copy.

    I'm not much of a "books into movies" guy, but in hands of talented scriptwriter, this has potential to be "Raging Bull" of horse racing.

    New Bill Hartack bio details immensely talented athlete derailed by own rigid principles. My book review:

    Could there be a new No. 1 on this week's Derby Top 12? Don't be absurd! But a new No. 11 thickens the plot.

    And again in in 1949 (also NYT), when night racing was perceived to be as dangerous as off-track betting & purses of more than $50,000...

    Always been fascinated by bizarre villainization of night racing, esp. how 'twas once viewed as evil of evils, like in this 1931 NYT story:

    Although dwarfed by reprivatization issue, I'm intrigued by the night racing possibility in this article:

    A hint that spring is not far off: We've rolled out my inaugural "Derby Top 12" rankings.

    big presentation at work tomorrow

  10. ಜನ 7

    Ample espresso on hand & 30+ replays to watch in prep for "Top 12" Derby debut on 1/17. Does better way exist to spend a snowy Sat?

    Thx! If my memory serves me, you & King Carlos were both recognized same year ('94) by turf writers for contributions to New England racing.

    i worry that with the imminent return of the pillory they won't have one in my correct wrist & neck size

    Went on my first run today since spinal fusion surgery in July. Glad to see local trails are as (un)crowded as ever. Embrace the endorphins!

    Will go out on a limb & predict racing will NEVER have another trainer who shouts "I am notorious! I am infamous!" each time he wins a race.

    Had 800 words to eulogize Carlos Figueroa for . The bombastic, never dull "King" would've insisted on 80,000!

    Binocs shaking. But @ 1 min to post, divine intervention! Stewards cxl rest of card b/c of nasty weather. What a gift for a young announcer!

    Typical Dec. day: Dense fog, sideways hail. Terrified of screwing up, but decided to wing it—figured fans would be as confused as I was.

  19. ಡಿಸೆಂ 23,2016

    A PR ploy—field of 8 renamed as Santa’s reindeer. I had enough trouble calling real horses, let alone Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, etc…

  20. ಡಿಸೆಂ 23,2016

    By Xmas Eve ’93 I had abt 40 race calls under my belt. took a few days off & I had task of calling annual “Reindeer Dash.”

    Announced my very 1st race 24 yrs ago this wk at Suffolk Downs. You never forget your maiden call--Please Answer, wire to wire, big margin!

ಲೋಡಿಂಗ್ ಸಮಯ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

Twitter ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಮೀರಿರಬಹುದು ಅಥವಾ ಕ್ಷಣಿಕವಾದ ತೊಂದರೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಿರಬಹುದು. ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ಅಥವಾ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಮಾಹಿತಿಗೆ Twitter ಸ್ಥಿತಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿ.

    ಇದನ್ನೂ ಸಹ ನೀವು ಇಷ್ಟಪಡಬಹುದು
