At least he didn't mention flavor-of-the-week Barry Irwin, who owned 3rd place finisher Captain Bodgit. Not sure if Dale Capuano is one of the dreaded "liars".

I would say " even for Hovdey that's embarrassing " but we're so far past that concept that this article is just more of the same.
He would have " remembered " the truth if Julie rode Touch Gold.
