| A Friend's "Unwarranted" Letter Before sending out a letter...be sure the letter is not UNWARRANTED. Also, a FRIEND....or shall I say a good FRIEND can sometimes make YOU do things that are UNWARRANTED. Don't let this happen to you. Make sure your FRIEND isn't just using you or being dishonest with you. Make sure they are truely your FRIEND. And, last but surely not least...make sure when you say UNWARRANTED....you know it is UNWARRANTED. |
I'm not there.....I'm not there. you....Run--away....Run--away. Standing at the draw gate Monday night I thought to myself something was amiss. I trotted to the general offices.... NO MACK.......I then ran to the race secretarys office......NO MACK.......I rushed back outside and looked skyward to the announcers stand.... NO MACK. I slowly lowered my eyes downward to the judges stand......again NO MACK........on a last stitch effort I looked in the starting gate.....first to the front for the driver and then to the rear for the starter........go ahead and guess.......NO MACK!....... At first I started to panic...OMG!!.... but then thought to myself, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF..... The Red Mile has 12 other perfectly capable racing officials to guide the ship when Mack works the sales in another state on a Red Mile race night. Just goes to show you.....TO BE CONTINUED. |
| Good Business or Plain Deception We recently seen an ad from a higher end trainer wanting horses to train. This is how the ad read;
I train stake horses only....primarly trotters. I don't have a set day rate...somewhere between $30 and $50 a day depending on how much money you have. I am the best. If your horse goes lame or breaks a bone in early February, I won't worry you...I just won't tell you...I will just call you and tell you how good she is training. And if you make a surprise visit on an early March morning around 10am...I will tell you that your horse has already jogged and jogged like a champ. I probably won't mention that it was over 6 weeks ago since she last jogged or hit the track. I will say go ahead and stake her to whatever you want....and I won't have a problem watching you sink another $10,000 or $12,000 in stake payments. I want to keep you as an owner... better yet, I want to keep you in my billing system...at least for a couple more months. Now keep in mind, I have trained and developed several stakes winners. I am simply the best. Like I said........I am 'The Greatest' that is understood....but.......even I didn't know.....I... could...... 'PITCH'...... that good." |
| Safety Helmets Required Safety helmets are to be used in every racing event. So that's what the rule book says. Important Driver: Oh wait just a minute I have a Doctor's excuse saying that the helmet is to heavy and is hurting my neck. I can't wear one. The Doctor says so. The Judge: Ok...I will make an exception for you, because of who you are...without you the show won't go on. I'm so glad you make me look like a monkey. |
