Just your typical humble Doctor with a God complex.

He makes Repole look downright humble.

Now we're crossing over to Owner Psychology...which is good, which is good.

I think he's tryin to resurrect the John Travolta Sat. Nite Fever image with the shirt unbuttoned down to his naval....either that or he's trying to look like that guy trying to sell Testosterone Tablets on TV...

Was that one of those ABB Belts I saw vibrating under his shirt?

Yeah...this guy's a piece of work alright

Well if this guy was genuine he would agree with my observation. Trinniberg has been suffering from depression since entering this race.

We're ALL going to be suffering from depression if Doctor Ken-Doll Hansen wins....I can just see it...Accepting the trophy under the Twin Spires...Hansen and his Nurses ( or "Nieces") with their blue "tails" and Stilettoes....

Hansen's trying to be the derby god (small d small g)...but THE DERBY GOD ( BIG D...BIG G) will not be smiling

We can only hope one of the Nurses ( or "Nieces") has a wardrobe malfunction.....we'd all be winners then, right?

By the way.....How big is this guy's ego to name his horse after himself..unless he named it after Ronnie Hansen, the ol Oriole Shortstop from the 60's....poor Mike Maker...poor Mike Maker

I was at RFK when Ron made an unassisted triple play for the Senators. Diving catch up the middle,doubled up the runner on second and tagged the runner coming from first. Awesome moment for a little leaguer !

I had Hansen's (the shortstop, not the horse) Baseball Card the following year and yep, on the back of the card it said..."Ron made an unassisted triple play last year"...you know how nonchalant they wrote stuff on the back of the card...

Good field..no hit tho
