I just found this old pic. Circa 1987 with my first OTTB. Runaway Jeans (Exclusive Ribot x Jeans Pretty). I bought her for $400 on the backstretch at Delaware Park. I was 15 years old!

After @PatCummingsNTA and I watched Everett Dobson talk about “unity” and “collaboration” at the HBPA Conference, I said to Pat… you know what, let’s give this one last real shot.
So we did.
I had my attorneys send a letter to the @jockeyclub attorneys.
Not complicated.
Sit down. One room. One full day.
Let’s put everything on the table and actually fix this sport.
We gave them 48 hours to respond.
It’s now been over a week.
Crickets. 🦗
No response.
No respect.
No interest.
Sadly, it’s exactly what I expected.
Here’s what we offered…
All the Stewards.
Jim Gagliano.
Me.
Pat Cummings.
Aron Wellman.
And a real group of industry leaders across every part of the sport… track operators, trainers, aftercare, breeders, etc.
One full day.
No hiding.
No excuses.
No bullshit.
If all that talk about “unity” meant anything…this is an automatic yes.
But it’s not.
Because they don’t want unity.
They don’t want collaboration.
They don’t want transparency.
They want control.
They want silence.
They want the same broken system that’s been dragging this sport down for decades.
So let me be crystal clear…
This was it.
The last good faith effort.
They ignored it.
Now we move forward…and we’re going on offense at a whole different level.
If there’s any real media left in this sport that actually gives a damn, ask the @jockeyclub why they’re afraid to sit in a room and answer real questions from real people???
This has been going on for 3+ years.
I’m not going anywhere.
This fight is for all of us.
What do you think???

@JonathanABarnes Is Colonial the only track that does this? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it at MD tracks or anywhere!

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
You want to know what insults Jesus?
Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

So grateful I was able to pay tribute to a great mare in this piece published in late 2024 ... thoroughbredracing.com/articles/6356/…

Goodbye, SERENA'S SONG, 34, whose death has been announced by Denali Stud. To say they loved the 11x G1W Hall of Famer seems understatement. They were so good about sharing her with her fans. Condolences to the countless people who loved her, including the Denali Stud staff.

Zenyatta, a 6-year-old thoroughbred, went undefeated in 19 straight races, 60 Minutes reported in 2010. Her trainer, John Shirreffs, who died last week at 80, shared her unusual diet. “We give her aloe vera juice because it’s good for their stomachs. And then, if she’s been really good, I could pop open a Guinness and she could have a beer in the afternoon,” Shirreffs told 60 Minutes. He added that if he offers another type of beer, she won’t drink it. cbsn.ws/4azkf0J
