I am so grateful for my friends. Today, I lost my best friend, Ralph Kinchen. My father and I share the same birthday. I used to always joke that I was the best birthday gift he ever had, but today I reflect on July 1st a little differently. He was my gift.....
"Don't let it dominate your lives"
@realDonaldTrump
My father has COVID, had a stroke last night, and I can't hold his hand or see him....
So, yea, it's hard to not let it "dominate my life"
I’m gonna tweet about things that don’t have to do w/ racing. I’m saying what’s on my mind for one main reason…
If my beautiful 10 yr old son was TERRIFIED in that room with a psycho, an AR-15, & I never got to hold him again…
I would hope someone would say something…
14 years ago, when I was in college at Texas, I bet $5 across the board on Giacomo and watched the Kentucky Derby NATIONAL BROADCAST. I won, I bought the keg beer, and I fell in love with horse racing. Today....I will be ON the Travers NATIONAL BROADCAST on FOX. Pretty darn cool!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes…
Weird day…for 39 years my father and I had that odd conversation or phone call when we wish each other Happy Birthday. Sucks that didn’t happen today….
Nonetheless….
Happy birthday, Dad!
I am grateful to call
@mwmracing
a friend. His post race interview made me tear up....I’m lying, I cried. I’m soft, but he is a remarkable trainer and he deserves his success.
Hey…
If you didn’t enjoy that halftime show….it’s because you might be getting old. Don’t be offended, it’s likely gonna happen to me at some point.
But everyone of those songs
@rihanna
performed was jamming and a serious part of the last 15 years of my life….
Happy opening day!
Just spent my pick 5 money at the dry cleaners....
I thought takeout was an issue, but Saratoga dry cleaning prices need to be discussed

grief is stupid....
The shit our sport has gone through in the last 3 weeks & we are upset about field size, preferential treatment to trainers, split divisions, & betting opportunities....have a beer, handicap a race, &

I am grateful we are racing...

Sorry for boring you…

I had like ~50 people unfollow me yesterday….
Can someone pass along a message to them?
I hope you never win another photo and get taken down in every inquiry…

What VanMeter posted on Facebook recently was offensive, but I gotta be honest....other industry people retweeting stuff ridiculing & poking fun @ BLM is just as bad & possibly worse. Subtle racism is more concerning & problematic...I want to know if there is a snake in the grass

So proud of the filly…she closed well in to a slow pace.
Eternally grateful to Kris and Bob Edwards for providing me with the emotional rush I get when she runs.

Thanks for reaching out. Great to finally meet you (virtually). 50 min phone conversation laced w/ different perspectives & opinions, but two things we unequivacly agree about. We both are very proud to be black men and our desire for real and serious change in this country. ❤️
I just had my first private chat with
@Utbighair
about race and OUR work in horse racing. We have a brotherhood and common ground. We both have a lot to say about this. I’m sure he will address it in his podcast. I will definitely address it as well. Stay tuned. 👊🏿👍🏿😁
I went to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame today.
It was outstanding. We got the Tom Durkin tour and he was magnificent.
The 16 minute video at the end gave me goosebumps and made me cry.
You MUST go!
@nmrhof
Don’t mind me & my “not black father & brothers”. I wish someone would have told the fathers of the 2 white girls I had a crush on in school that I wasn’t black. And told the 50 plus people to call me a N**** in my life. Maybe I can get corn rows AGAIN (probably 20 years late on
AQU cancelled…
OP cancelled…
America’s Day at the Races cancelled…
Surprisingly, Austin’s FIRST day EVER playing HOOKY!
Of course we are going to our favorite spot in Austin, Perlas!
I think reading, understanding, and being fluent in the condition book is a hidden gem for handicapping success. I think being able to answer “why is this horse in this spot” with the knowledge of the condition book is a huge edge. I don’t, but it’s on my list of things to add
To whom it may concern,
I don’t have a 2016

. I’ve never had a Hyundai. IF I had one, calling my phone 4x a day from new numbers because I block old ones would not lead me to extending my warranty
I will pledge my political allegiance to whichever party makes this stop.
For all of the UK folks out there…do your schools have armed teachers and staff?
Because there is a bunch of dummies in the US that think that is the magic answer to this problem 🙄

This was the first outfit I wore on TV back in 2003 on NYCOTB TV. Mom kept the clothes hoping I'd one day fit back in them. That day was Sunday. 71 pounds and 18 years later. Still a lot left to do but we'll get there. See you at 12:40 for Talking Horses!
