SR,

Glad you enjoyed it and happy Sirius managed to get one of the three days right... Those were interviews conducted all week after they announced inductees, and I strung them together into a three hour show. Was a lot of fun to talk to those guests when the feelings were running high. Especially Peter Fuller and John Veitch. Stevens was terrific too talking about Silver Charm.

And of course Jorge V. is a treasure trove of info and stories. The last two summers I've gotten to know him via Sciacca, and since he rode or rode against every great horse from the late 60's to 80's, he can relate to any question. I know he has his detractors, but I greatly appreciate him. He won't be at Toga this summer nearly at all as his jock (Ponce) is riding at MTH...
