I have no interest in or have ever met Stauffer, Rosario or for that matter, anyone who is really involved here, but there is a serious hard on for Vic that I don't get. As someone told me yesterday, listening to Durkin sob as Birdstone sweeps by to win the Belmont was far more offensive and insulting to the connections of Birdstone than anything that Stauffer is accused of.

Bob while I really could give a flying fcuk about the whole topic. One thing is 100% true, there is ZERO chance a race caller will ever be an active agent again. Vic is only allowed to do this because his track is closing and his direct reports dont give a fcuk either. No how no way would Vic's practice be allowed to continue in any other jurisdiction. But again who care!!!

Vic could have ended this thread with one simple line. Pete, I will listen to the call again and see if I did much wrong. I certainly wasnt trying to be partial but maybe I did? I will have my direct reports listen and get back to youif need be.. Thx for listening Vic(end of thread and hats off to Vic).. instead Victoria came for dinner which created all the fun..
