![]() Where is everyone? Where did everyone go? It used to be so full of people talking horses and racing, and it just died.

![]() Obviously Twitter changed the horsey talk landscape tremendously, but I know a number of people have trouble accessing the site because the certificate is way out of date and they get a warning trying to get on. My webdev guy left the business several years ago and I have no way to update a lot of the back end infrastructure. That's why I've warned that an end-of-life crash will come at some point and I won't be able to recover the site.
The ATR.com managers couldn't integrate DT into there, so I expect to add a message board to it when we're done here. Even though there isn't the chatting that went on for a long time, I use DT to record the show lineups, note topics I cover on the air and format my analysis and am happy that long time DTers still enjoy visiting.

![]() I don’t think I knew about the Yahoo board.
I started posting on the ESPN Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies boards probably early 2000s then switched over to a now-defunct message board called sports-boards. Steve posted on the Eagles board but must have mentioned derbytrail and I ended up over here. |

![]() I used to play in a pick 6 contest which I think was on the ESPN website. When that contest ended I saw on the ESPN message board that Derby Trail was starting up so I joined. Undoubtedly, after all this time, I am a better player because of it. I still make a lot of dumb mistakes, but maybe not quite as many as I once did.
![]() ![]() As for having trouble accessing the website, I did get warning messages for a while, but I started accessing DT through ATR and I wouldn't get the warning messages and now I don't get them at all no matter how I try to access. I hope that DT doesn't implode at some point. |
