Well, on that topic, most racing authorities do not actually allow events named for living persons. NYRA went against tradition when they wanted to add Joe Hirsch's name to the Turf Classic while he was still alive and could appreciate it.

The travesty in this MJC fiasco is that if they had suggested to Chick Lang renaming the Hirsch Jacobs in his honor, he'd have told them absolutely not to under any condition. Lang would be mortified to know they did this.

I hope you like tuna fish sandwiches and Kool-aid......

You know, you REALLY got off lucky this year. In past years the workman's comp part of your license fee would be around $300. This year, we lucked out and it is only about $50.

I'll probably be near the clubhouse bar - can you bring me sandwich around 3. I should be hungry by then.

Best of luck to you guys - I'll be rooting for you!!!!
