Andy, that was excellent. I enjoyed it greatly and sat there with a smile the entire time.
I'm sorry that it was only 30 minutes, I could have watched that for hours.

Thanks for posting

It took about 3 seconds to start smiling at that. It feels good that Harvey Pack is still so lucid and hilarious. It must be cool playing hosses at age 86. They should give him a key to the city or something like that. Imagine if he came out of retirement for one more show.

Will watch when home tonight but the early morning Siros handicapping shows you two put on were comedy gold. Living in the South I had never heard of Harvey till then.

Fun interview! The way Harvey told the story of "Doc" responding to "Is there a doctor in the house?" and making the fast epilepsy diagnosis while still copying down exacta prices from the toteboard was hilarious.
