Yes, I was aware of what happened and that may have played a part of his trip in the race. I know I'll try to get all the facts I can about a race before I comment on it. After the Preakness, everyone came out of the wood work and there were many crazy comments made. The comment made by the writer for the TU on Saturday made me even more crazy! His comment about the up coming Belmont Stakes and what his byline for his column will say; "No one cares who wins" is even more distrubing to me. Some of the local newspaper writers are even more arrogent than the T.V. people and they do this for a living 24/7. If you suppose to report on things about this sport, have a good attitude and try to build it up. Knocking it down with negative comments don't help it at all.

Your buddy is the ONLY and I mean the ONLY guy that entire network who knows whats up.
The rest of them are pathetic. Can you imagine spending 5 minutes knocking and bashing the ride that Solis gave? I mean, in that arrogant tone of voice as well? I mean if you wanna play horse racing media guy in your spare time from your day job, at least do teh research lest you make yourself a complete imbecile on tv like that. Yeah you clown, it was really Solis' fault that the horse was bleeding from lacerations to his face.
If I was running that place Hickory, your buddy would stay and the rest(I kid you not) would receive pink slips and tossed. Absolute know nothings.
