Stauffer wanted the job. He knew the job was recently filled by Wrona. Instead of badmouthing Wrona and explaining how stupid the board was to give the job to anybody else, Stauffer uses a surprisingly smart technique by writing some puff piece extolling how much he loves Fair racing and how much he misses it and how it was his family that forced him to leave a job who would have done for free. Did he mention Wrona's name? No but who cares, he didn't have to nor would it have been a smart move to do so. Instead he prays on the soft side of the people on the board and asks them to be the callous assholes that he is by removing Wrona and bringing back himself.

Nice job Vic. You are a real class act.

Its not as simple as who cares? Its really not even news at all, someone clearly had an axe to grind. 3 different boards, the exact same post, by the exact same poster. Is that OK? Is it out of line for me to bring that up?

He has no axe to grind. Dahoss is simply pointing out something that happened in this industry that was a scummy thing to do that was perpetrated by someone who has been mired in conflicts of interests throughout his career. I, for one, am glad that Mr. Dahoss has brought this to all of our attentions.

Let me guess, you sent him one of your classic kiss ass pm's and he responded. Sweet.



I knew it was only a matter of time before you made this about you. You have no idea what is right or wrong as you have shown in the past over and over again.

Sorry, had to.:D

I am not saying you did anything wrong. You didn't. But you are very eager to hurt anyone you can with whatever means necessary.

It's too bad because you likely have a lot of good to offer and certainly know the game. Why not stick to positive things once in a while?

What I would like to know is how the Sonoma County fair meeting minutes were discovered in the first place? Is this something one randomly stumbles upon while perusing the internet?

I don't know man. You've actually talked with him and helped him out with stuff right? Where does that put you on the stupid scale?

Im not sure whats hes still saying, because hes been blocked for about 10 days now, but are you blind? He follows me around EVERY THREAD, ON 2 DIFFERENT FORUMS. Its crystal clear, at least a few people see it.

Yeah. My experience with him was that he would say whatever he needed to say to deny any responsibility for himself. I think he actually would believe himself too.

Dear Madam or Sir,

My name is Vic Stovetop. I have worked in the horse racing industry for 35 of my 54 years on the planet Earth and 7 of the other 19 on Mars. I feel so blessed that as a young man I convinced one of the trainers at Hoosier Park to fire a groom and to hire me instead. What a great life it's been.

Here are some of my accomplishments:

• Over 44,000 races called and 42,964 correct orders of finish
• Seven years as an announcer at a track that ending up firing me
• Eleven years as a race caller with 10 years and 8 months of those 11 years yelling ZEEEEEEEEN-YA-TAAAAAAA
• I was an original member of the worst handicapping program on the air
• As a jockey agent, the jockey I represented had a complaint filed against him by the California Horse Racing Board alleging he "did not put forward his best effort riding his horse to the finish line" in the final race at Del Mar on Sept. 6.
• As a horse owner I attempted to approach John Glenney the morning after the race and ask if Cedros, the horse the jockey I represent did not ride to the finish line, was for sale
• In 2011 I was appointed and I still serve as a very important you-know-what for the state of California, wink, wink, know what I mean? Say no more.

I know this appears as very self serving, because it is, but that is not my intention, even though it is, but it would sound silly and self serving to say it is my intention, so it isn't.

Let me explain what happened in 2009 and 2010. I was vain, weak and stupid and I had a life.

Now let me explain what happened in 2011. I was vain, weak and stupid and I had no life.

As with most people with no life, I attempted to get as many jobs with as many conflicts of interest as I could muster. Pretty dumb, huh? But wait, there's more? Even though you already hired a guy, I want his job. Job? Funny... I don't even think of it as a job. I will do it for exactly $1 less than the other guy. If he'll do it for 7 grand, I'll do it for $6,999. If he'll do it for a dollar, I'll do it for free.

Thank you from the bottom of a bottomless pit for reading my words, and if you don't reconsider your decision based on this request you will wake up tomorrow with a horse head in your bed.

Please feel free to call me anytime at (415) UHIRE-ME.

Respectfully,

Victor Lasagna and Meat Sauce

Well done.
Both my wife and I laughed out loud at your post.

Very clever. Very funny.

All the best.

Yes, your handicapping skills obviously aren't worth a damn if you think you can bribe someone like me into shutting up about abhorrently unethical behavior by assuming, like some narcissistic fool, I merely want be thought of as funny.

Please don't ever PM me again.
