Baffert Fined

Say what you want about NYRA but as the guest of an owner I used to work for and as the guest of friends who train and own, I never once saw the horseman and their guests treated with anything less than total accomodation by NYRA. They go out of their way to make the trainer and owners experience as pleasant as possible.
By the way Euro, you met Terry huh? Ask meyocks how he would have handled it. I know him, and hes a gentleman and one of the best liked people in the entire business by horseman and any fan with a grain of common sense. Terry never turned down anyone I know on tickets, passes, anything. Above and beyond the call of duty as far as horseamn and meeting their needs went. If I owned a racetrack, he'd be the first guy I would call to beg run it.

I dont know Terry. I got to meet him one time and boy I was impressed. What a great guy. I think he would be perfect for Ellis. I hope everything works out for him if he decides to buy Ellis.

The guy is aces. Never turned anyone down for anything that I know of. Hes also the kind of guy with guts who would always have your back and the back of people he knew. I don't know anyone alive who would say a bad word about the guy.

lets get it right..because baffert had three horses in the derby.he should be able to bend the rules..he was there all day..im sure that the miller thing was a last second deal by someone who owns a part of a horse or somthing..i cant blame the track or the security gaurd..now if this guy let blockhead in behind baffert the guy would get fired..lol

Put a badge on a rent-a-cop's chest....BINGO!!! All of a sudden, he's really important!
Might not know sh it about racing, horses, or much else.
