Here is something about Simers you may not know. T.J. is a minority owner in the most expensive quarter-horse purchased by Ed Allred in last year's yearling sales at Los Al. All of the profits T.J. makes on this horse(and it is obviously going to be eligible for every million dollar race at the track) will be going to the Mattel Children's foundation which helps pay for treatment for children with cancer.

T.J. is a dichotmony. His articles can be reprehensible at times, but he donates more time and money for children with cancer than any other columnist in Southern California. I am not defending the column on Barbaro, but there is another side to him that not too many people know about.
