doesn't he work with some tracks?

i'm so glad tho, that this is the predominant point being taken out of my post above.

So now we're supposed to treat people in the public eye differently like they're royalty?




























































Ok carry on then.

lol
that's not what i meant either. what i mean is i find it strange that some posters post only to attack someone else. i'm not saying vic or andy or steve should never be criticized. i just wonder about the reason why someone doesn't post for months, until they find a way to go after vic. does vic deserve it? hell if i know. do i wonder why vic continues to post here? absolutely. sometimes i think vic only gets attacked because he is a celeb, and some people just have a problem with someone who is a bit of a celeb. they don't really know the guy at all, but they just want to go after him. and in this case, no posts regarding anything else in months. and then bam, a bunch in this one thread going after vic.

i'm pretty sure it might bother you a bit if someone attacked you every time you posted. they never said a word for months, but then they see you post and here they come.

Vic is a celeb?

I think it's a little different than that.

Plus I'm not posting about how awesome I am all of the time.

I don't think Vic posts in that manner either.

A lot of west coast bias, sure, but he usually posts about himself when he's already on the defense.

So what you're saying is Vic is 2pac and Rare Bog is Biggie?

Dead to me, since this old man has no idea who they are.

I think I post about myself when asked a specific question. Perhaps not. I'll go back and look. If I'm going to put my actual name on here I should try to be honest. I've sure learned you can't please everyone. Still. We all have a common thread, well almost all, great passion for horseracing. That will always carry the day

isn't that pretty much public knowledge anyway? all you have to do is look at purse money won by rosario horses, and then extrapolate the numbers to figure who get how much percentage-wise. and really, does anyone catch grief if they say they won x amount in a bet? well, if they made the bet known ahead of time of course!!

Unnamed Poster : Did anyone see what happened in the feature at Hollywood?

Vic : I made $260K working for Joel Rosario in 2010.

Next Poster : Why are you rubbing people's faces in how much money you make?

Vic : Oh, I make much more than that. That was only what I made working for Joel.

Next Poster : Didn't Joel fire you?

Vic : I was going to quit being an agent anyway.

I think everyone should chill out with Vic. The bottom line is he is a public figure, like it or not. He takes the time to post, and talk to us and always seems to treat everyone with respect.
Im not sure what the problem with him is.

The question was asked why I walked away from something that seemed so lucrative and successful. I put that in to emphazise that good money be it Rosario or Tyler Baze wasn't the most important thing. Perhaps I made a mistake by using that example. We live and learn.

The whole point is when you are a public figure and you made x hundred thousand in times were people havent worked in months/years it comes off poor.

Vic quit being an agent or perhaps wasn't welcomed? I don't know nor do I really care. You think if BYK got a huge raise from Sirius we would be reading about the 400k bonus he got and then months later how he was giving up the show to snuggle with Tina on the couch?
