Like many of the rest of you he'd train my horses if I had any...that is of course if Chuck Simon wasn't accepting new clients.

I think on here he is well liked for the type of guy he is. I will admit that before I had TVG I just would see the occaisonal clip showing him jumping up and down after a win, waving his hands and saluting. I thought that he was probably just some buffoon.
But after I got TVG and started listening to him, I really became a fan of his, and recognized that what he does after a win is just a reflection of who he is, and he is not afraid of showing everyone the exuberance or sadness that he feels as a part of racing.
i get a kick out of him and he is a decent handicapper as well.
As someone else said earlier, we need more like him.
