It was extremely well written and conveyed many fine sentiments.
I miss nothing. I read the letter and knew it was you. How many guys with that name who love racing can there be?
Fine job.

go take your lovefest PM, or get a room

The guy wrote a good letter. You should try it sometime you dope.
This really should have been posted by somone, but i doubt anyone made the connection or reads that section of the DRF. here it is courtesy of the DRF. Nice job Brian.

Vacare and Co. put on great show

After seeing Vacare's breathtaking maiden win at Arlington in June (and wondering how she could possibly have paid $30!), I have been infinitely intrigued by this filly. Her equally impressive performances in a conditioned allowance and the Grade 3 Pucker Up solidified her standing as a great local turf runner. What a treat it was to see her prove her mettle in her first try against Grade 1 competition last Saturday in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland ("Vacare 4 for 4 after QE II victory," Oct. 16).

While her QE II performance showed what an incredibly talented animal Vacare is, the big congratulations of the weekend have to go to Chris Block, Vacare's trainer. Fans of Chicago racing have known Block for years as an expert campaigner, most notably with turf horses. Having seen his incredible success with many great local horses, it still hasn't sunk in that this was his first Grade 1 triumph as a trainer - he certainly deserved it years ago.

I want to congratulate Chris Block and his team for achieving this huge milestone victory. It was long overdue and is a sure tribute to a great, respected horseman.

Good luck to Team Block and owner Lothenbach Stables in continuing on with this magnificent filly.

You may be the only guy in history who has a shrine on his wall that is a tribute to the rejection letter that a guy sent you in response to your maniacal and delusional belief that you could play basketball at NC.
That alone should have been proof years ago that you needed to be committed to an institution.

Well you and I have something in common then because my degree is as worthless as yours is, Political Science isn't exactly a valued commodity.

What's wrong with poly sci? My dad has that degree and did a ton with it.
