He did get punched out by a female horse trainer before.
One of many great articles from the 90's on the man himself....
Quote:
Depending on whom you ask, Aaron Hesz, a young racetrack handicapper-writer-tout, is either:
A tactlesstact·less know-it-all who hides behind press-freedom rights while trying to destroy the careers of racehorse trainers he dislikes; or
A tactless know-it-all who offers racing fans the benefit of his years of experience by publishing eyeball assessments of horses' fitness
Recently, Hesz's scathing remarks in the local handicappers' helper, Today's Racing Digest, made him the target of an angry ad in the Daily Racing Form, a fist thrown by trainer Laura Pinelli and, Hesz said, threatening (and anonymous) telephone calls.
Hesz, 30, said, ``It's a personal vendetta against me.'' And it's true, the controversy has gotten personal. ``To put a pen in the hateful hands of someone like this is bad for the game,'' said Gary Young, the prominent workouts clocker who wrote the anti-Hesz newspaper ad after Hesz slammed trainer Steve Young - Gary's brother - in a Racing Digest feature named ``Claim Box.'' Young also called Hesz "a demented little dweeb"
