from our old pal Finley
 

I'll bet none of his eight mention will win it either.

Ah the poison pen, I'd rather reread war and peace than anything he writes.

I heard he and Bill Heller are good friends...LOL

The BEST of friends.

Bill Heller?

i'd read it again, gladly. it's a good book.

Yeah, I thought it was an odd comparative choice myself.

I suppose that any book that you are forced to read by a professor or teacher is never as much fun as those you choose to read on your own.
I was forced to read it. I really should read it again sometime.
Bill Finley spews more venom than a King Cobra. I've never been able to figure out why someone with so much obvious negativity towards something chose to make a career by writing about it. This has never made sense to me.

Yeah, he's a good one to promote OUR sport! LOL

How is No biz slower than Tiz Wonderful?

I missed the day those two almost came to blows in the press box,
that marked the end of the Saturday pool up there.
I also recalled he (Finlay) bitched because the press box didn't have the NFL ticket on closing weekend a few years back.

Noted author and handicapping ace from a capital district newspaper (Albany N.Y.area)

Imagine Woody Allen duking it out with Micheal J. Fox.

That's a good one! :D

I missed that one but caught the ra-cap in Indian Charlie. Apparently it was one for the ages.

I sometimes think Finley is a mole, planted by PETA to destroy racing from within.

i was supposed to read grapes of wrath in school. ugh. never finished. recently i got east of eden and it was fantastic. so i bought grapes of wrath and gave it another go. was very good.
enjoyed war and peace, much better than anna karenina. but i prefer dostoevsky. his brothers karamazov is great.
