Funny. I go to Saratoga every year and a good friend of mine stays in a B&B on Union Ave. I used to hang with him and we'd stay at the bar and I got to hang out with Drape. He seemed OK, we we're talking horses. My buddy told me he won like a Pulitzer Prize or something, not sure about that. He seemed OK. Seemed like a horseplayer.
I'm from Philly and don't read the NYT. However, I started reading his stuff and really turned on him. I thought he might be a great horse racing journalist from what people were telling me. I'm thinking Joe Hirsch or something. But nothing is farther from the truth.
He is no friend of racing, I've only found him to be a friend of Joe Drape.
