But again who care!!!

Vic could have ended this thread with one simple line. Pete, I will listen to the call again and see if I did much wrong. I certainly wasnt trying to be partial but maybe I did? I will have my direct reports listen and get back to youif need be.. Thx for listening Vic(end of thread and hats off to Vic).. instead Victoria came for dinner which created all the fun..
sure there could be. Grunder is a jockeys agent. Guy at Portland Meadows used to be a jockeys agent for his wife who was leading rider. I was told I could have been an agent at either track i worked out by the stewards.

Vic isn't the first, and surely wont be the last
