Barry Abrams is a life-long horseman -- and most people don't know that not only was he a standardbred trainer in NJ in his younger days, but he also trained a World Champion and very famous pacer named Guts.

I certainly didnt know that, but I was very impressed with the way he handled that filly, infact how Ive see him handle most of his horses in the paddock. He seems to treat them more like dogs than horses

I loved how he handled her after she got upset PP. He did get slapped down, but he got paid 12 minutes later

I wouldnt have expected him to treat her any different than he did actually. I think from they way he was acting kind of sheepish after the race during the interview he kinda knew it wasnt a very good move with the carwash rag. Just my opinion. And she is a very nice filly and have her on my stable alert and have won money on her alot, including today.

Though I was calling BS from the get go on the bettor's details, I still found the presentation mildly entertaining.

I come down to the fact that it takes balls and talent to fill live air time with spontaneous, improvised conversation. For those rare productions that lay 'em out there in a live improvised situation these days, I give a wide berth on my judgment.

I couldn't agree more. They had no business talking about what he makes on national TV.
