One of the saddest days of my life. My best friend& first ever dog Roley has passed away at 13& a half years old. He went peacefully with us all. This is gonna be really really hard to get through. He helped me get through cancer, & I've never shared a bond with anyone like this.

Please say some prayers for my best friend Roley. Just found out we have to go see an oncologist. Pray that the CT scan comes back clear. He's been my best friend and he helped me when I was sick. He is the kindest being in the world and such a good boy.

I'm very happy to not be sick&to be alive. I'm someone who is a cancer survivor, so I'm the type of higher risk person w/ all this. 10 years ago I got cancer, lost every cent I had&owed a ton of $$. You can make it back from being broke or losing $$$. Cant make it back from death

If you are saying anything negative about a 29 year old who retired from a job that could have paralyzed or killed him, a guy who has suffered many many life changing injuries and has a baby on the way.... well maybe think twice before tweeting or saying something stupid

This morning, we lost my best friend Bug. She was almost 14 years old & was such an amazing dog. Bug came into my life when I was sick & it was like she was sent to help me through the most difficult times in my life. A part of me will be missing forever. I love you Bug.

Not gonna be great for Horse Racing being the only game in town when many of the industry "experts" & "analysts" have no idea what they're talking about. Lol. Fan & customer education has been atrocious for a long time. I don't want betting advice from people who don't bet.

The Triple Bend is coming up @santaanitapark , if Brickyard Ride loses, it's likely because he battled or was pressed & there was a hot pace. If that happens, the 3 American Theorem could be very interesting on the cutback, much better at this trip & the price is right. Good Luck

I used to cover 10-15 different tracks in a week, low level & high level, TBreds, Quarters & Harness. I've seen more bad rides in the last 6 weeks at Gulfstream than I've ever seen at any track of any level in my life. 3-4 horses every race not given their best chance to win.

Wonder why so many non gamblers are hired as tv or simulcast analysts or experts for race track jobs. There are plenty of ways or jobs where those people who know the track or horses or love the game can help in a big way and it's not by giving out betting advice.

As someone who watches race replays &considers themselves a trip handicapper, have been for 15 + years now, very seriously. I'll watch unnecessary ones. IMO the level of riding from top to bottom is as low as I've ever seen it. Reckless, not prepared w/plans &packing it in early.

Happy birthday to my beautiful girl bug. Bug would have been 14 today, she passed away just a couple months ago. She was such an amazing dog. We have her ashes with us so is always there. I still miss her so much.
