Mende also wrote a column in January of 1996 about Sports Channel New York no longer carrying the "Racing from Gulfstream" show. Menda complained that Sports Channel "let its ego get in the way" of showing race replays to thousands of fans.

Sheesh, what happened to him? The few things mentioned here that he wrote in the 90's makes him seem like he was an okay guy back in the day.

Does he have a friend at Youtube? What is Youtube telling you, if anything?

This is an example of how I get notified via email.. the responses from YouTube are automated.. so I don't think he knows someone, he's just continually making false claims of ownership and if it happens enough they shut down your channel..

Would be cool to have Haskin write up this story in BH and see the outpouring of pissed off horse fans put pressure on him/them.

good idea. i just don't see how this guy thinks that because he has a video library, he suddenly has sole rights to these races.

Sounds like it wasn't so hard to find this guy was it? I usually don't get into name calling but this guy must be a real jerks or he's off his med's.
