I remember Day's interview with Chris "Mad Dog" Russo from WFAN here in New York, after the Breeders' Cup Classic vs. Sunday Silence. After Russo -- who might know that a horse has four legs, it's a 50-50 on that one -- berates him for his ride, Day tells him that he knows nothing about racing and hangs up.

Can't say I blame Pat on that one... better that than to argue it til he's blue in the face like Clinton tends to do. LMAO...

I didn't understand enough about racing when Pat was riding Easy Goer to know that he rode him poorly... I was only 9.
