Congrats to @ScottOstler. He's inimitable, and I speak from experience. At the @DailyBruin we did a mock @LATimes. I parodied the quirks of its great 1980s scribes. All but Scott - his quirk was that he was always funny, and how do you make fun of that? x.com/SportingGreenS…

From chucking papers as a kid to slinging zingers as a pro, Scott Ostler has seen it all in his sports journalism career. In his inimitable style, he looks at where it all began and where it took... sfchronicle.com/sports/ostler/…

I didn’t make history at this year’s NHC, but I sat next to the guy who did! And it was the most thrilling finish I’ve seen in my 32 years in the game. Read about it here in @theTDN @NTRA @irish_cutie @justindew @mravencraft @Steve_Byk @MikeMutnansky @ABRLive @KevinModesti

@KevinModesti Great job, Kevin, highlighting the NHC for a major media outlet, and for your article on DD before the tourney even started. Excellent stuff! We horseplayers thank you! (Plus, take a bow because you look like a genius for picking the winner well in advance!)

@jcpick5 It’s 53 races, $2 win & place. So $342 represents a 1.61 ROI.

@bobike1 @NTRA Ha. Credit for the column goes to @TyHoffman6, whom I profiled pre-NHC last year and who suggested I write about Dylan Donnelly this time. And credit to you, @bobike1, because seeing you and others compete in handicapping contests has piqued my interest in this part of the game.

@KevinModesti @NTRA Talk about a timely column. He profiled the guy who wins the NHC (from 828 entries). Kevin, who did you bet in KY Derby future?

Dylan Donnelly, profiled here, is 24th after two days and one of the 83 players moving on to Sunday’s final rounds of the National Horseplayers Championship. In 17th place is Alan Hoffman, father of Tyler, who was featured in my racing column a year ago. Tammy Johns leads.
