Not related but this line from the article was a classic

"More Derby: Who knows how Larry Collmus, well-regarded Monmouth/Gulfstream race-caller, made out in his first Derby for NBC? With NBC not taking care to lose the in-house call, both calls blended to sound as if the intercom at the Jack In The Box drive-in was beefing with a Beastie Boys CD.'

Yeah Larry did fine. Not his fault NBC goofed.

Mr Irwin has a had a reputation in the past for uh...lying to his trainers about when they were getting paid.

Who knows? Probably couldn't get box seats for all his owners, while Repole took six boxes with two entries, scratched one and kept the seats.

There is a reason why people dont bend over backwards for the guy. I think you can figure out why...

I mean this is a guy who stood on his soapbox and declared that Team Valor would have a zero tolerance attitude towards drugs...then take a look at the list of trainers he employed AFTER that proclamation.
