Johnnie Cochron Classic
"If there is NO split, you must acquit."

A John Yinger Classic
"After observing the barn area this
season, it's like a pack of hungry
pit-bulls trying to fight for the last
piece of meat."

A Classic "The Bowie Rules"
Rule #1 - "If the owner is wrong, the
    trainer must remember,

Mark Twain Classic
Climate is what we expect,
weather is what we get.
Sign of the Month
-- Pisces  --
You may be easygoing by nature, but
as the final sign of the zodiac, you
also have an innate understanding
of human nature, and that
understanding will serve you well
when dealing with people who think
they can lord it over you. You'll find
their weak spot and turn the tables
on them.
The Tiger Woods Saga
Based on Tiger’s interests, his new
product endorsements will be for
Hostess.

How does Tiger know what hole he's
playing? By the tattoo on her back.

A Chief Dear John Classic
"I know what I believe. I will continue
to articulate what I believe and what
I believe - I believe what I believe is
right. HEY, did I say that 'out of
competition' testing is my idea?"
Dumb & Dumber
Press Release
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's seems
we have found Uncle Bobby's long
lost brother. He is said to be
somewhere in the hemisphere of
Southern Florida. It is believed that
he goes by the name
"CHIEF DEAR JOHN". Seperated at
birth, these two have never met, but
both have somehow managed to slip
to the top of their ladders. One is the
Head Honcho of his calvary, while the
other sits as President of his
association. Both have the
everlasting desire to be a
SUPERSTAR."
It's only money. So you're wondering what's all the
fuss about.

You believe contracts just cause more problems, and
that leads to more money and more competition. And
who wants to deal with that.

Your philosophy is, "the casino has been so good to
us, so why bother them."

You would rather wait and see how much better the
money will get at the casino. (sure would hate to
jump the gun now.)

You believe if the horsemen will wait it out, they may
gain another percent.

You have faith in the casino. Which leads you to
believe if the horsemen wait long enough, the casino
will eventually do the right thing.

Your thoughts are, there are too many racing days
already.

You believe the old fashion way, "a man's word" and
a "good faith" contract are all you need, especially
when millions of dollars are on the table.

Racing has never been better. So again you're
wondering, what's all the fuss about.

Now that he's the head honcho, you're counting on
"CHIEF DEAR JOHN" to make things better. So you
figure, when you have "CHIEF DEAR JOHN" on your
side, who needs a contract.
Late Breaking News @track
Chief Dear John has a question.
Chief Dear John: "I want to know
how....if when I gave someone two
stalls, how did they get ten?"
Folks we must go to Lexington, Ky to
ask "Palms Up Perelli" for an answer.
Palms Up Perelli: "Chief Dear John,
I think I can answer that question.
Just so you know I have never......
EVER...taken money for stalls. I
would never do such a thing. It's
just wrong. However, I do accept
tips. In fact, I strongly encourage it.
So Chief Dear John, I don't know if
there is any truth to it, but I  did
hear that Pete tips very well.
Chief, who is your stall man?"

Editor's note: Palm's Up Perelli is the
stall superintendent at a racetrack in
Kentucky. He knows the game all to well.
He is one of our expert stable analysts.
