Personally, I don't see that as such a bad thing and I'm sure many of the people who are critics of this campaign would likely do the same thing after 40 years in the game and probably countless horses that didn't make it this far or got injured before they could. Heck, I would have scratched him out of his last race, but they still ran.

For anyone who didn't see his much talked about work:

The guy is one day away from dying. He gets kidney treatments every other day or something drastic like that and he, like most people in the 80's, have good and bad days.

I personally have learned a ton from him from probably the 20+ conversations I have had over the past year in a half that I have been around him on Saturdays at Trackside.

And Pat, I think you took the 'devalue' word the wrong way. It isn't about money at all with Fink, the guy has more money then God
