Loyalty

[my miss storm cat]

I was a huge Proud Tower Too fan and was so happy when they kept Cohen up for Dubai.

This jockey hardly ever gets any notice at all and, since it's a(nother) slow Monday and being a fan of Caracortado (even though it looks like he'll go to the Preakness)...

... just thought I'd post this piece from a couple of days ago.

I never make excuses for any horse (at least I try not to) but I am kinda wondering about Saturday and what might have been - just in a fleeting way.

Aaah well.

On Paul Atkinson...

How much loyalty is there in racing?

Being a newer fan than most of you David Cohen is my point of reference.

Anyone want to share a story of loyalty or maybe one of its polar opposite?

Most loyal? Biggest back stabber?

Anything goes.

I don't believe in loyalty at all.

Loyalty is something for suckers and it's something that can hurt a bettor far more than it can help him.

Does that go for just racing? or in general life?

Racing is about doing the best you can in relation to everyone else. Doesn't matter what aspect you're talking about. Nothing else is important. I think being contrarian and especially finding ways to either cheat or gain an edge through very hard work are most key.

General life is about having food, drink, sleep, and something to do that makes you feel good. You could probably get all four of those things in a prison cell .. although certainly not quality food, quality drink, quality sleep, and quality activites that make you feel good.

You are pathetic.

Paul Atkinson sure had his fans and supporters in the paddock and trackside at Santa Anita on Saturday.

I heard more "shout outs" of support for him than I did any other horse or jockey in the field.

Don't mention Proud Tower Too. I'm still pissed off at people here for a certain episode.
