Haskin Resigns as Senior Correspondent of The BloodHorse

I hope his writings turn up somewhere. Can't imagine following this game without him.

BloodHorse | Haskin Resigns as Senior Correspondent

i hope it's not a result of anything serious with mr. haskin's health, and that he enjoys a long and happy retirement.
i'm glad he got to see and write about another tc before he called it a career.

He just posted this on his Facebook page:

I want to inform all my Facebook friends and whoever else is reading this that I have resigned from Blood-Horse. I hope to remain active on a freelance and selective basis and continue to utilize my 46 years of experience in the Thoroughbred industry. For those who have followed my Derby Dozen and Hangin With Haskin blog, I also hope to continue these either on another reputable website or more likely on my own blog/website, which I plan to set up, hopefully funded by sponsorship and/or advertising. Details obviously are very sketchy right now, but I just want to thank everyone for all their support and kind words over the years. They have been greatly appreciated and often humbling. It will take a while for the dust to settle. I have been employed by only two companies in the last 46 years, so this is an unchartered path I am forging. For those wishing to contact me for whatever reason, you can email me at sehaskin@aol.com or send me public or private messages on Facebook or Twitter.

And, last of all, thank you to American Pharoah for sending me off on such a high note and providing me with such an exhilarating final experience, and reminding me that there is no euphoria that can compare to that inspired by a Thoroughbred.

Who fills that coveted role now?

Maybe Jay Hovdey can take a hack at it.

Or D. Wayne Lukas, who wrote and recited poetry at his peak in the '90s:

`We`re not here as entertainers, we`re here as racehorse trainers;
``We`re not here to cause no trouble, we`re just here to win the daily double;
``M.C. Hammer and all his clan have got a Derby horse in Media Plan.``

haskin back with bloodhorse

Sort of. He's freelance and will do Hangin' With Haskin and Derby Dozen blogs, but he's more freed up than he was to do other things.
