Jay Hovdey is one of the most insightful,well written down to earth writers of our time.
His humanistic approach and love for all aspects of the sport from the stable dog or goat to the regally bred blue blood horse,from the hot walker to the jockeys to the trainers,owners,race callers and track operators is always a treat to read and always thought provoking,some times you can have a different point of view or opinion but to say that Jay's writing is either out dated or inaccurate is both ignorant and ill informed.
The DRF has Andy Byer with his insight on speed and pace,Steve Christ with his state of racing opinions on Thoroughbred racing but no other column writer can approach a wide range of subject with a wide angle view as Jay .
