I first started following racing in the Smarty era.
I've learned a lot from different people, a few of them here, but back in those days? The person who taught me THE (wow I feel like TFM doing that
) most was King. I didn't know anything about anything and he'd explain stuff in his long winded way.
He did explain things though, to a silly new fan on an internet forum when he didn't have to waste his time... he always went out of his way for me and others who showed enthusiasm and who wanted to understand the game better.
Sometimes i want to smack him, sometimes he's dead on but for the record just wanna say that i was honestly asking him for his opinion here and wasn't bumping this up for any other reason.
He's continually pointed out to me I'm far too sentimental but he knows I think he gives up on some runners too easily.Ultimately, as friends, we end up balancing each other out.
As far as the Stardom Bound line... I probably made a similar prediction somewhere...
I know I've made worse ones anyway...
Beautiful win by Rail Trip today. Like him, didn't think he'd do it here... congrats to anyone who had him.
