I was the only member of the press that day who went back there -

...and we're all lucky you chased that ambulance cuz when there's a veterinary emergency at the track one of the crucial elements necessary to assess and stablize the patient is a pen-and-notepad toting megalomaniac trying to get a scoop...

Congrats.

Ding, ding, ding...I am safe now. No way I can win the "Dumbest Post of the Day Award" after this gem.

I watched from afar until he was taken care of and spoke with the trainer as he walked to the track....in the process of him watching yet another loser run under Steve Asmussen's name.

Yep! I believe Asmussen is currently 1-for-26 with favorites so far.

With a few last place finishes and now one dead horse.

He should consider sending his string to Arthur Wendel next year.

Indeed.

Todd Beattie isn't doing much better. Besides a winning first time starters - he's been blanked.

I hope DrugS doesn't find out I referred to the PID as an irrelevant outpost of racing.

Should have let me know you DID have an agenda with that one, PID I will loving always refer to it as the irrevelant outpost. I felt the need to edit my post regarding dinner, but hey I'm in Louisiana we'll eat anything down here.

His post read as though he thought he was the only one at the track that day that gave a **** about the horse. That's what I was commenting on.

I'm sure I misread it, though. Must have been all the "I"s.

The real reporters there that night had two more stake races to cover after Super Frolic went bad.

I was the lucky one who got to make the half mile walk in 45 degree weather with no coat.

I want to thank Miss Storm Cat for starting what turned into a most entertaining thread. Super Frolic was an extremely admirable horse who surely deserved a better end, and the same could be said for many horses and people in this game, and at least this thread offered us all some humor to help make it through this brutal game. Speaking of brutal games, CJ, I just got home from the Os game. Did I really need to watch that for four hours?

It also allowed DrugS yet another opportunity to redboard. But, then again, what thread doesn't.

I don't even know the score. I think there is a rule that all Yanks/O's games last four hours. If only the season were that long.

At least he didn't mention Street Sense or Discreet Cat, so we've got that to be thankful for this fine morning.

The Yanks were up 8-4 with two outs in the 9th and two Os on....and the Yanks brought in Mariano. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the worst pitcher in the league, Os relievers not included, be over 99% to hold that lead?

Hell, I'd be 93%. The Notre Dame QB would get the out 9 out of 10 times.
