@Hinesite @Domsavides Seems way too many stewards just sit on their hands and make the jockey object. Also I would think it would be easier to adjudicate a fine/suspension if the stewards raise the flag.

She was told no, but she went anyway. From Oklahoma quarter horses to managing champions like Gun Runner, Sandy Hatfield’s story is grit, leadership, and building a legacy. Full episode out now. 🎙️ The Boundless Podcast

I hadn’t planned on posting anything on Social Media until @KentuckyDerby Week, but Two things brought me out of hibernation for a Day; the announcement of TVG/FDTV phasing out, and a call from @ronflatter I’ve always admired Ron’s work and I was especially moved by what he wrote about TVG’s impact, and the challenges moving ahead for Horse Racing with its impending extinction. In other words, Ron was on a shortlist of people I would say ‘yes’ to. Ultimately my conversation with him on his Podcast was cathartic for me. He gave me the chance to not just talk about the finality of TVG/FDTV, he graciously let me recount some of the seminal moments along my nearly 27 years there. And that is what I believe strongly about this much discussed topic in our Sport, the end of TVG/FDTV, the History of it can be a roadmap to the Future. Through the stops and starts, triumphs and setbacks, the First Network dedicated solely to Horse Racing, and the Third channel into the niche Space of Networks dedicated to one Sport - after the Golf Channel & Tennis Channel - TVG made History for a Sport that has as rich a history as any. Everything is of its time, in the case of TVG it was ahead of its time, but eventually that advantage can fade and here we are. As you can tell, I could talk endlessly on the topic that has been most of my Life to this point, and Ron was kind enough to give me lots of runway. However, I hope what comes across as you listen is that an ending does not define the totality of the Journey. It may be the last step, but it’s one of many. I’m immeasurably thankful for every step, especially the first one. Whether good times or bad, I’m always humbled by the connection we made with our audience. I’m heartened by the public conversations that have taken place over the last week because in all ways it led back to the importance of what TVG was, and in a way not only reminded everyone of the Legacy, but celebrated it too. For me, and I believe for Horse Racing, it’s now time to move on together and create something even more exciting. There are already some inspiring ideas being put forth. As a Minnesota Native I’ll conclude this reflection with a line from one of the greatest MN Poets of all-time: “They say everything can be replaced They say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every person who put me here…” - Bob Dylan horseracingnation.com/news/Flatter_P…

@realtueltime @OaklawnRacing My first KY Derby in 2002, despite 4 straight days at the track, my buddy and I were planning on spending part of Sunday at the races. We were crestfallen once we realized they weren’t running. I know this goes against what I just posted, but I was a lot younger then!

Should have been mentioned earlier, but great move by @OaklawnRacing to not have live racing the Sunday after the Arkansas Derby. The public and employees are both exhausted the next day, and the atmosphere at the track reflects it.
