IMO, say whatever you want about Nick Hines, low win %, buffoon, never in the military, etc. The guy still absolutely loves horse racing and people like him are great for the game. What harm does it do when he goes berserk after winning a race?

Like many of the rest of you he'd train my horses if I had any...that is of course if Chuck Simon wasn't accepting new clients.

I think on here he is well liked for the type of guy he is. I will admit that before I had TVG I just would see the occaisonal clip showing him jumping up and down after a win, waving his hands and saluting. I thought that he was probably just some buffoon.
But after I got TVG and started listening to him, I really became a fan of his, and recognized that what he does after a win is just a reflection of who he is, and he is not afraid of showing everyone the exuberance or sadness that he feels as a part of racing.
i get a kick out of him and he is a decent handicapper as well.
As someone else said earlier, we need more like him.
