Andy Serling Shows His Class

Having said that I would encourage every one to listen to him when he discusses the horses but it should end there.

I don't post much but I have to comment on this. My husband (SouthBeachLuv) and I met Andy at Saratoga last year and he was incredibly kind. We had visited Belmont Park the day before heading up to Saratoga and he ensured that we had a wonderful time at both tracks (it had been a longtime dream of mine to visit Ruffian's grave, and thanks to Andy, I was able to do so).

Andy's online persona may be harsh, but so what? It's who you are in person that matters, and he's a stand-up guy.

i have much respect for those in the industry, public figures, who come here and post..or more. we are lucky enough to have several people come and give out advice, their opinions, their points of view.
i have no respect for someone who comes here and gripes at them, especially when it's done anonymously!
everyone knows who andy is, steve, etc, etc, and they come here and weather all the slings and arrows. i'm still not happy that some others in the industry, owners and the like, quit coming because they got tired of the bs from some around here.
you don't have to be a fan, but these people don't need to come here and start threads like this either.

I agree there--we're lucky to be able to interact so freely with some of the figureheads of the racing industry. OP is a troll and nothing more

Let me continue with the canonization ceremonies. I met St. Andy back in...............never mind.

The lad has an effervescence about him that permeates throughout a crowd. Last week's show at the Parting Glass with interviews with the Chief and Jerry Bailey was a classic for every serious horse racing fan. I really wish I could attend tonight's event.

Before his halo blinds you, I will add that a colleague witnessed Andy standing on a phone book that included all five boroughs of New York just to use the big boy's urinal.
