![]() I am in for a wager in Joe's honor.
He was a real character, needless to say, but had a tremendous passion for the game and had really developed as a handicapper. Such a tremendous loss for his young sons and your heart really breaks for them. RIP. |

![]() You don't often see someone make an image comeback like RHT pulled off. I think it's fair to say that he was not taken seriously early on here at Derby Trail. But he stayed with it, got sharper, and slowly earned the respect of many. (Talk about long odds.) I really admired him for that.
