Bossert gone

[Benny]

Surprised he lasted so long there, he really had very little to say other than repeat stuff from PR releases . He never filled the shoes of Russ Harris, Bill Finley, Ernie Munick et al. Think of John Pricci , formerly of Newsday, and Paul Moran (RIP), who wrote quality stuff. While its sad to see horseracing coverage diminished, with the NY Post and News following Newsday and Times; just take a look at the once great DRF w/ its pay DRF +, which i rarely view now since I cannot have a DRF ADW account and refuse to pay for + . And look at the new writer / handicappers for Timeform, who have plenty of quality stuff to write and say. Those who rely on newspaper pickers could always look to Ron Rippey who won the 2007 NHC
