I loved this:
Upstart (Post position 19, morning line 15-1) – Rick Violette (trainer) – “The way I look at it is: my job the next three days is to convince Jose Ortiz it’s the best spot in the gate. My job the next three days is to convince Jose Ortiz that it’s the exact post position we wanted.”
Very funny, and wise, too.
