Almost as good as the one where you were trying to say that Lukas is a shitty trainer because his former "assitants" haven't done well. Hmmmm....

don't forget the one where i brought up the long whip he used on azeri in training.

btw: quotation marks should contain actual quotes.

Thanks for the tip about the proper grammar. You have been very helpful lately, especially with the sharting problem.

Back to the topic, I do not think Antley should be in any HOF. Sorry, had he not messed up so many times and ended up killing himself he may have been around some more years and really proven that he belonged. I just don't see rewarding chronic drug users with honors.

As a grown adult, he had a choice. The choice he made failed him. Too bad, he was a brilliant rider and probably a decent day trader. He should have chosen to leave a better legacy for his kid.

Sometimes it's not just as clear as that. Let's award him for his accomplishments as a jockey not degrade him for his off track troubles.

If not an absolute winner, certainly a deep finalist for " worst first post " in the history of internet message boards.

As you can see, I disagree with you, and ( at least in this case ) I am all for rewarding ( or is it awarding ) chronic drug users with honors.
