Hollywood takes out half-page ad for Zenyatta's HOTY candidacy

Maybe in the ad he can also tell even more people his 2010 earnings as well.

That wasn't what I made last year. That's just the Rosario portion. Thanks for taking something I was trying to share from my heart and belittling it. Inspires me to continue to share things.

Oh, you shared your $260K, now part, income to be kind to the little folk. How could I have missed that?

Vic, the disingenuous act isn't fooling anyone. If you actually think " sharing " your income, especially when PART of it is over a quarter of a million dollars, is a way of interacting with others, then I suggest you use your now self-imposed free time to do a little soul searching. Personally, and I've been wrong before, I think you know exactly what you did, and now we can use this as definitive proof that your " interacting with the little people " has been exactly the act that most, if not all, have always taken it for.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that you speak about me personally and don't know me. That's cool. Part of the internet experience.

Actually, until you wrote that post about your income, I had JUST told Byk that you seemed like a good guy with a good sense of humor.

Go ahead....ask him.

The post wasn't about my income. It was trying to explain why I chose to make changes in my life. DRF reported that I had resigned from Tyler Baze. Some people wondered why. I chose to share. I'd write more but I gotta get BYK on the phone. I'm not going on with my day until he tells me I'm OK with you.

Like I said.....you now have the free time to figure this one out. I'll hope for the best for you.

This Rare Bog guy doesn't mess around.

Gee who is this Rare Bog?

How could you accuse any poster of not knowing you when you (moments earlier) admit to sharing things, like your deepest and most heart-felt thoughts. You post under your own name for goodness sake, how can you take umbrage with the "internet experience" while feeding it like that? The narcissism runs so deep on so many levels.

Check with me in three years when we can have a beer and discuss things. Till then. Go to your room.

Congrats on the tax cut extension Vic.

This Bog boy(18) and Blackthroatedwind could never know how special you have been to so many people in the industry. These two internet nobodys only wish they were as successful as you. OR
Maybe they really know of you, maybe they arent internet nobodys, maybe they are very respected and respectable people who have wonderful careers, care for children, educate people and are selfless.. The point Vic is if you dont know dont assume.

Vic anybody with a clue knows that Rosario and Garcia won a lot of money while they employeed you and anybody who felt the urge to figure out your cut could have without you reporting as such. Let's call a spade a spade it was in poor taste to BRAG about your income. You left the agent role because you don't have Garcia or Rosario anymore and if you did you would still be hustling(not a bad thing) successfully to get them live mounts. You would be continueing to earn very real money and the fruits of your efforts would be vast. Your wonderful family would be encouraging you to be successful.
you left the game for a lot of reasons they are your reasons but I am sure the way we all could figure out your cut when the sun was shining is the same way we can figure out why it isnt shining anymore.

What we both know is that life is a big circle and that you have had your place on different spots of it. Perhaps remembering the past makes the present more tasteful. keep it in mind before you hit the submit reply button.

Vic you never know when you will need a friend in the biz. Remember there is a racing world outside of Ca.

You're right it's very easy to figure out what any agent makes. If you think I was bragging I feel terrible. That certainly wasn't my intent. In fact just the opposite. I was trying to illustrate that for me extra money doesn't matter. Health and family do. You are quite wrong when you say that I would still be working for Garcia or Rosario if I could. Simply not true. I was never comfortable as an agent and don't expect I ever would be. Working for Tyler was such a different experience I tried it for a while longer but at the end of the day I chose to follow my heart both literally and figuratively. All I can tell you is that my reasons for leaving and exploring mew avenues were EXACTLY what I said they were. If you choose to not believe that. There's nothing I can do.

Health and happiness are extremely important.. All the money in the world cant buy you either. I have had quite the difficult year and no money I have or dont have could change it.

You did seem to love being an agent and while I cant point to any specific post I do remember you being thrilled to be finding such good fortune.

Please keep in mind IF you had both books still you would not have had to deal with the last 6 months(or however long its been).

I try not to fool myself..I try and realize when I am just BS'ing myself to make all that went wrong right..

I am thinking that you could still be healthy and happy if you were succeeding with two of the best jocks in the country earning for the team.. I dont know but if I had to guess it didnt suck.

Did you have knowledge of the ad?

Can't you just send him a PM or something.

I'm enjoying this. Finish him, Bog.

I know why.... because he's shouting at the top of his internet lungs: LOOK AT ME.... I AM SO G-D D--N MULTIFACETED IN THE HORSE RACING INDUSTRY!

It reminds me of those self-indulgent Hollywood phonies who own bizarre pets like Crocodiles and Pythons and crap.

Vic could embark upon a training career.
