Another breakdown at Turfway

Now, that's not the complete truth either. One jock told me "it was like asbestos". No, I can't tell the jock's name -- TP would ban the jock if they knew it. And last winter season when it was clotting up the jocks called a meeting about track safety. Softball sized chunks of it were flying 20 feet in the air.

I know -- I was there pal.

Stand by the rail after races and tell me horses don't have breathing issues after inhaling it.

Wait until this winter. You're in for a real treat.
