JJ Gracy?...What ever happened to that guy? He completely fell off the radar. If I recall, he left because he got involved with some Brazilian turf club penny stock scheme to simulcast races here or something... He was fairly well known in the sport I thought, but literally haven't heard anything about him in years..

I was ridiculously happy that Haskin wrote that piece and figured it'd make Steve blush with all those well-deserved compliments in black and white for the world to see. I used to be on another forum that was becoming unpleasant (the newbies were borderline trolls, definitely idiotic if nothing else) and regulars were getting driven away. One of the old guard told me about DT and I originally came here just to be a part of this community, but when I realized Steve had ATR and I heard the quality of it, I realized I'd hit the jackpot. The ability I have to enjoy the sport for that many hours a day with the quality of analysis and interviews, well, it's just been invaluable to helping me feel connected to and informed about this sport. I honestly don't know how things would be were it not for ATR and everybody here.

JJ and Samm have a radio show in S. Fla...if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: Yeah they do...but it's not primarily about horse racing.
