I have about a 70-page printout that has a mobile and sometime also a home phone number for almost every trainer in the country. I got it from a jockey agent.

I've got two different mobile numbers for Baffert. If I really ever wanted to be sadistic...I could scan and forward it to PG '85.

What did he do...staple a bunch of condition books together?

Here's the conversation between the two:

What PG hears: "The mailbox of the number you have dialed is full."

What BB hears: "You have 600 unheard messages."

It's just like a Master phone list print out. I use it for quotes when I write columns.

I remember the agent telling me not to bug too many of these guys -- I told him I'd rather shoot myself in the head than talk to these guys.

Michael Dickinson was yelling and screaming "you're asking the wrong questions!" at me over and over when I was asking him any question about Tapeta that didn't involve horse safety.

Stephanie Beattie lied right to me about horses being "new in her barn" who had overages even though I had PP's in front of me showing she was the trainer of record on said horses for over a year or more prior.

And, by the way, how was Take Charge Indy flattered by El Padrino winning the Risen Star? He was browbeat by El Padrino. I guess Union Rags flattered him in the FOY, too.

In reality, it's Shared Property who serves as the most accurate barometer of Take Charge Indy's talent.

I would never call the GOAT.
