The only thing I've said about him on Twitter is I'm a much better handicapper and that if we went head to head I'd kick his tail.

And if I was on set with him I wouldn't back down to his bullying.

Period.

I've suggested to NYRA they put us on together. Think it would be good theatre.

NYRA isn't interested.

I think it would make for pretty good TV.

Oh well. God knows my golf game needs the work.

MIZUNO did.

I'm hitting their top of the line irons and recommend them to anyone that wants to use the best equipment on the market.

How long until you cry about how mean I am and how you’re leaving because you just want to talk racing with real fans?

That’s my favorite line of yours.

There's plenty of places to talk to real racing fans.

If it makes you feel better to be mean.

Have at it.

It's clear it's not just me. You're terrible to everyone on this site.

I expect that's why it doesn't get the exposure of some of the others.

But if Steve doesn't care about your vitriol why should anyone else?

Now might be a good time to remind you Vic that your co host blocked you on twitter

Boy do you get a lot of facts wrong.

That was a gag we both pulled on each other.

And we NEVER blocked each other. We unfollowed each other for a few days.

Maybe pander less and work on your craft.

That way you won’t get dragged on Twitter for being so fake.

I think I'm calling better than at any point in my career. Clear, concise, accurate, exciting.

Do I make some mistakes?

Sure, as does everybody.

Can't please everyone but my Twitter responses this year have been mostly positive and supportive.

That first paragraph speaks volumes. The ultimate ego maniac. You find your calls to be exciting? Oy vey.

Your twitter responses…..LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

There you have it Vic. Calling me a bully. Good luck with that. You want to adopt a dishonest Twitter narrative ( surely you know these exist in MANY destructive ways on social media ) have at it...but it speaks volumes about you.

Sorry, but asking people to rationally defend opinions is not bullying. It's expecting a level of performance that racing fans deserve. I get it, you don't think racing fans deserve quality. I do. We'll have to agree to disagree on that issue. Glad you made your position clear.

I respect and admire racing fans as much or more than anyone who's ever done what I do.

I make that crystal clear every day I'm on the air.

What about that day you lambasted Anthony about being fired from the Daily news?

That seemed like bullying to me.

I'm FAR from the first person who has accused you of bullying.

Tell ya what. I'll take back bullying.

Let's go with aggressive and hyper opinionated.

So much so that people on the air with you seem intimidated?

All I said was I think I could out handicap you even at NYRA and that our back and forth banter would be fun, interesting and not so one sided.

I think your skill set for the handicapping show is fantastic and well presented.

Our show with Nancy and myself is also well received.

I've long thought it would be fun to go toe to toe with you.

But, alas that's probably not in the cards.

Thanks for your input.

If they handed out an award for having no humility you’d win everyday Vic.

Don’t ever change

First of all, and once again, the fact that others have accused me of bullying doesn't make it true. The lies that are told about me on social media are plentiful. People repeating these lies doesn't add to their truth. You using this as some sort of defense for you doing it is unfortunate and only adds to their destructiveness.

My exchange with Anthony that day was unfortunate and regrettable. I have stated that here and PA, as well as Twitter, and fully acknowledge that I was wrong and out of line. It's complicated, as most things are, but there is no defense for my behavior. Like most, I'm an imperfect person.

There are many people that wish they could be on Talking Horses. I consider this a compliment....however, it doesn't mean they will be coming on the show.

I'm right with you on making mistakes that are regrettable.

We both do live television and discuss a very passionate game.

I'm an imperfect person as well.

It should be considered a compliment that many people would like to be on Talking Horses with you.

It's an excellent show.

IMO you and I trading opinions could make it even better. But that's out of my control.

Thanks for taking time to share your views.

Nothing on your abhorrent behavior towards a fellow announcer?

Assuming you did "the work" all of the work regards to the present would be the most important topic.
