Yes. Was just watching some of his races the other day after a mention on Steve's show.

I'm prepared for another year of rip-off with the Arkansas Derby once again getting the shaft. Obviously there are greater travesties in the world, but that's just one thing that's guaranteed to get on my nerves annually.
