Dale Baird dead in accident

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Very said story about what happened with Baird and in that crash. Just terrible.

Don't know about DB into the Hall of Fame, after all, I'm of the opinion that humans don't belong in the Horse Racing Hall of Fame....it should be all about the horses.

If they want to start a jockey hall of fame somewhere, or trainer hall of fame, or owner hall of fame, whatever, go right ahead.

I know one thing though, I've already started a Money Burning Trainers Hall of Fame. And rest assured, Dale Baird and his mind boggling achievements when it comes to yielding a high percentage loss on the betting dollar, they were one of the very first ones enshrined in my black spiral notebook.

I was always mesmerized how one guy could consistantly produce a 40%+ loss on the betting dollar, year in and year out, all while starting an army of horses each year. The huge sample size was key to his greatness and legacy.

RIP DB
