Phil has a question:
Do you think that Clark Kent and the Undertaker are doing their jobs.
Sal sent an e-mail to Clark Kent asking:
Could you please comment on why Stolz is leaving Alberta and what you have done to try and improve the thoroughbred breeding industry in Alberta.
Phil has a question:
Do you think Sal will get a response.
“The frustration level…” he said. “I mean, this year, even though our success has been amazing, there isn’t anything in this sport that is good right now. We need to make this sport better, so I want to start an association with the biggest owners and the biggest trainers. I think it’s our responsibility. People say, `whose fault is it? Why is racing this bad?’ I blame myself. I blame the owners. In other sports, like the NFL or the NBA, the owners are very involved. They run the sport. and here, we let everyone else run it for us, so I think owners and trainers taking care of the horses, the jockeys, the fans, the bettors, the tracks, working with the tracks, working with the other groups–it’s time now that the owners take back this game.”

Over at Keeneland on Friday Robertino Diodoro has a couple of entries including some with interest to Albertans. Charles Garvey’s Debt Paid makes his first start for a $50,000 maiden tag in the 2nd race on the dirt. Christian A Torres is in the irons for Robertino.
On Saturday at Keeneland Robertino Diodoro has a couple of entries of interest to Albertans. Lawrence P. Roman, Charles Garvey and Norman Tremblay’s Patriot Hills drops in for a $75,000 maiden tag in the 2nd race moving to the dirt from an uninspiring premiere on the Saratoga turf. Ricardo Santana Jr. stays in the saddle for Robertino.
In the 10th, Randy Howg’s Airtime will be making his first start since the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn in the spring if he gets in off the Also Eligible list in the 10th race a rather competitive OC $80,000n2x. Christian A Torres stays in the saddle for Robertino. Phil was hoping to see Airtime on the Derby trail this year whether it was north or south of the 49th and now looks forward to seeing him race as an older horse.

Phil’s reprising:
“I’m saying this bittersweetly: I’m one of the last ones to stand,” Mr. Drape said.
He continues a rich tradition at The Times. Horse racing was a field for the literary sports writing of Red Smith, Steve Cady and Joe Durso, Mr. Drape’s immediate predecessor. The sport doesn’t hold the cultural currency it once did, but the subjects Mr. Drape reports on, such as horse deaths and doping offenses, have relevance beyond the track.

What book – the Donald Trump Ethics Guide.
Does Reid have a catchy rhyme for this.
Are the pictures as nice as the ones Reid had for Edmonton Northlands before he killed horse racing and Northlands.
It is sometimes very hard to tell the difference between history and the smell of skunk.
