Default Ed De Rosa at Del Park

Ed said he's going to be at Del Park tomorrow and I may go down to say hi. He's on Steve's show all the time and seems like a real good guy. I've found the best calling card in racing to be "Hi, I heard you on the Steve Byk show". That works every time.

Heck no. Everybody loves you. I love Andy and used to go to Siro's to see him and Harvey years ago. Those were fun days. John Pricci eating a chilli dog at 10:30 AM. It was a blast. They'd have the best at those DRF things at Siro's. Crist, Davidowitz, Litvin, Noel Michaels, Andy Beyer, all the best of the time.

One story I'll never forget from the SPA. It was a while ago and Andy may remember it. It might have been real early when Andy went to NYRA, but this guy outside the paddock really went after Andy. Told him he was going to "swim with the fishes". It was bizarre. I know it shook Andy up and it shook me up too.

One thing I like about Andy, he always gives you a 100% honest opinion. He may not be right, but he's giving you what he's got.

He looked liked something out of the Sopranos before they were on TV. Not Andy, but the other guy. That freaked me out, very scary.

Do you remember than Andy ?

And he wasn't screaming ... " Security! Security!" Which I've seen and heard before. at Saratoga and gulfstream ...
Him and Harvey were awesome. Anything clever today?

A guy was really angry at one of his picks. It was years ago.

Looked all over. Could not find him. Nobody knew where the terraces were. I asked one guy and he said "Terraces ? We don't got no friggin terraces. This is Delaware Park".

Ed is one of my really good friends. He would have been very happy to meet you if you could have found him. He truly loves the game.

Said hi to Ed and the Big A on Jim Dandy Day !!

By the way Steve, that was me waving to you in the Black Explorer on the way in on Sunday. I'll have to catch up with you over the winter as I'm back in FL.

When at the SPA, time just moves too quickly......
