Nothing against you of course, but his is the segment I'm most anticipating.

Ben's the man and Steve should be applauded for getting him on the show. It was a great blow to the Racing and Wagering Board, and racing in NY State, when Pataki replaced Ben on the board ( for the wife of one of his campaign donors ).

Thx Andy.. He's been more than willing to come on the show but we'd had a series of badly timed attempts to have him... I'll call on him as often as possible!

That was a good interview. It's a shame pure politics put someone as knowledgeable off their board, more so since he's an academic who probably doesn't let BS politics rule his thoughts.

Steve,

Ask Jon White if he thinks the O'Neill trainee Big Picture in the 5th race is a big red flag. This drop is way too big to make me comfortable (loses by 1.25 lengths in an N1X and shows up in a 25k N2L 53 days later). Normally, he would be a huge play against for me, but it is Paul Reddam and he may just be culling his "herd" and he likes to win so he may be looking to recoup 25k and take the purse money. Nakatani sees fit. Mixed signals.

Thanks

Thank you sir.

I already had an A next to him, but I hate to do it. Anybody but O'Neill and Reddam, he would be a toss for me.

Very interesting...I know this horse well.

Caught the show today with my dad coming back from the hospital in Cooperstown, first time dad heard it. Said Steve had a good voice for the radio and enjoyed it. Hopefully, I'll introduce you to him at the Spa this summer. He's my partner at the Spa the days I'm not in the press box.
