I used to really enjoy Pricci on Thoroughbred Action and Inside Racing...

He seemed to change when he left Newsday...

Was it really THAT long ago? I thought maybe 98-99...

John took the buyout in 94 or 95.

I just found a tape of some old Inside Racing shows with him and Harvey from Belmont's fall meet in '95.

He didn't leave the track after leaving Newday.

I have actually known Pricci since 1976. He was very nice to me when I was an obnoxious little kid.

In a former life as a young reporter covering each racing day at the venerable Spa for an upstate NY fishwrap back in the late '80s Mr Pricci was very approachable, always willing to impart his knowledge and reporting expertise, unlike some others in the press box back then who wouldn't give me the time of the day. Have always enjoyed his work on the Sport of Kings. I find him as refreshing and insightful now as I ever have.
