It's sad and funny at the same time. Steve brings a daily stream of guest at the highest level in the game -day in and day out- for anyone who wants to listen. 3 hours of the sport of Kings. And John has the nerve to say Steve is self promoting. Promoting what?? Music on the introw? To bad

Thanks to everybody for the very kind and, in the DT spirit, humorous, support. I won't engage in it, but the predictable rogues gallery of Internet malcontents are apparently crawling out from under their respective rocks over there. As I wrote earlier, it's a bizarre sideshow.

I get needled here sometimes for being eternally optimistic about racing and painting rosy pictures about it. But whatever I've tried to do in capacities as a media member or slightly public individual around racing, has been done to encourage interested parties participation in and enjoyment of the sport. It's temporarily disheartening that some feel such an eager and voracious need to attack and belittle, but in any walk of life, that won't deter anyone who has real passion for what they're doing.

this is the best I've seen yet.

"This is what separates the greatest racemare in North American history from all others. She has run on multiple dirt and synthetic surfaces in her life with a record of 19-1 out of 20 starts. Blame has run on one surface “dirt”. "
