The Top Ten DUMBEST
People, Events, or Statements of 2009
    Joe Costa states that most people DO NOT know that their are 7000 people living around the Red Mile.
    (OMG!!!!! Joe is the man. The man with the plan. Now can Joe tell us something we don't know. Does Joe
    know there are 40,000 people living within just a few blocks of the track? Where is Edwin Wilson when you
    need him?)
    (Keep in mind this was a $300,000 race. Watch and you decide.)

    The Red Mile judges call TC to their office about The Swaymi's View.
    (The announcement came over the intercom... "TC come to the judges office at your convenience." They
    brought to TC's attention that he had wrote something that was incorrect. However, it turned out, that it
    was written with 100% accuracy. The judge then ask him not to roll them under the bus. He was also told
    that an incorrect chart is the charter's error -- not the judge's.)

    The Recall
    (The starter made a recall, only to find out he misread the program. The starter radio to the judges as his
    reason for the recall was for horse being out of position -- the judges radio back and said, "STARTER all
    horses were in their right positions." I heard this with my own ears.)

    Failure To Promote "Night Of Champions" KYSS Finals
    (What was the biggest night in Kentucky racing, and one of the richest cards in all of harness racing --
    Unbridled "Night of Champions". This was held at The Red Mile. Here is what we don't know; We don't
    know if it was the responsibility of Joe Costa, The Red Mile owners, The Breeders, the Racing Commission,
    or all of the above to promote this event. But what we do know is this;
    THEY ALL FAILED --- they all shared some or all of the responsibility. So as Fred Sanford would say it,
    "That makes them ALL a bunch of BIG DUMMIES."

    Boy Wonder Covered Up a Drug Test
    (Even though this happened in Ohio, it was worthy enough to make our list. Only Boy Wonder would have
    the guts to attempt to cover up a human drug test. He received a hefty $1000 fine and 6 months probation
    for this hideous act. ADA BOY!!!)

    Uncle Bobby
    (Even though he has been as quiet as mouse this year, in keeping his mouth shut. His past performances
    record made this numb nuts eligible to make number 4 on this report.)

    The Two-legged Chiwawas
    (We don't know if it was the moon, something in the water, or simply being protected by Coo-Coo the
    Clown. But there were more Chiwawas on the loose this year than any other time in the history of
    Kentucky racing.)

    Uncle Fester and The Three Blind Mice
    (Opening night Uncle Fester (who by the way is employed by the track), has an insanity trip while taking
    numbers off. He began threatening and calling Amy Emerson a F'ing B#%ch. Threaten to whip Harley
    Emerson's a$$. And then threaten to hit old man Gerald Russell in the head. Shouting and yelling, using
    profanities at several other folks -- men and women (in the presence of 12  - 16 year old kids). This was
    TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. We must to say, he did get fired....but the Judges need to have their heads
    examined, for not addressing this and letting Uncle Fester back on the track after this incident, without as
    much as a hearing. This is why they continue to be called -- The Three Blind Mice.)

    (This clown topped them all. By mid season he thought he could talk to anyone with as much disrespect as
    he pleased. Tom Smith and Rob Zink could not believe someone in Coo-Coo's position would talk to them in
    such a manner. But they quickly understood why he is called Coo-Coo the Clown. He continued his ways
    throughout the meet. His boss' boss was informed. He couldn't believe his ears, as he listen to the call.)
