Baffert's on it now. I wonder if his kids started that up for him. The thing is, you can get news insanely fast on FB and Twitter now. I've gotten things that weren't on this board or on Bloodhorse.com for some time afterward. I'm sure false rumors could fly around just as quickly, but I like hearing stuff from Claire Novak for instance. Dorothy Ours who wrote that book on Man O'War is on FB along with Laura Hillenbrand. The tracks are getting on. Lots of jockeys. Misters Haskin and Byk. Old Friends. I get that some people roll their eyes and act like you gotta share that you're eating a sandwich or something, but pictures, videos, breaking news..we've had issues taking advantage of new formats in the past right? Wasn't there criticism of how well we adapted to television? (Arguably still is )

I guess an At the Races monitoring of Twitter might end up devolving into an unmanageable live chat type of experience, but I think it would be a great way of not just relying on the phones. On a radio show, I get how hearing a voice asking the question to Steve or the guest is probably a good way to do it though.

In this case, we get to see a very pretty horsie. Who doesn't like that?
