He said "no" and I told him that it was Dermonti Dawson (for those that don't follow football, he was an all-pro center for the Steelers for most of his career).

On Wednesday at Keeneland, I am standing in front of the gift shop, wearing my Steelers jacket, waiting to hook up with the other DT'ers. This large man walks by, notices my Steeler attire and says "hi". I looked at him and said "Dermonti Dawson ???" to which he replied "yes I am." He was with his business partner and said that they just came over to catch a few races. He stayed and talked for a few minutes and was as nice as could be!!! It was just too weird.

That's cool
I've been a Steelers fan since I was ten, great to know that my fellow partner is a fan of the "Black & Gold".
Too bad Dee Tee silks weren't that color!

Black and White with Diamonds- FCC. Now that's a true owner. He looks at every horse before he buys. Look at other owners they sit at home and call their trainer claim this horse.

That is a great story Steve, not only having a horse run at Keeneland, but
to meet an oustanding Steelers football player of the 90's must of topped
off a great day.

I think playa wants to claim DeeTee's horse out from under 'em.

Sumwon needed a race.

I'm not the least bit discouraged.

I look forward to seeing her at Churchill.

lol i like the gal alot but no i would never do that!!!! there are ethics involved in this game, unfortunately tho some people have none. we took a filly at the end of the great lakes meet for 7500 and ran her back here for 10 a couple weeks later and she won. great huh? well she got claimed which is part of the game ok fine no problem right we made a nice little profit on her? well unfortunately wrong becuz it was by another trainer in the same barn as us who didnt even have the decency to tell us hey im gonna drop on your horse, if it was a trainer from another barn who had gotten her(there was a 3 way shake) we wouldnta had a gripe. anyways its sad cuz all hes done is make the filly do a 180 in the opposite direction, i see her everyday and shes not the same horse. heres the bullet in her better days(with us)
