It's bad enough that their notes have a history of some surprising comments, but how about the outlets that just send them out verbatim without even reading them?

You're right; I just realized that the PR posted that filth the day it came out (Jan 24). However, they snuck in a correction.

I'm sure someone must have posted the gross error in the comments section before they actually figured it out.

When Mystic Guide won the Jim Dandy they had this as a headline: "Son of Ghostbuster wins Jim Dandy"...

Sad part is there was an opportunity to connect Gretzky with horse racing beyond just having a horse named after him but this supposed "insider" either doesn't remember or doesn't care...

I always thought Jackie Gleason was the Great One ? Soldier in the Rain with Steve McQueen and the Great One was Awesome.

Because they couldn't card any turf races due to weather
