One of the drivers, who I think was named Dave Buckson (and I think he was the state Atty. General at the time), asked ME if he had won the photo. I told him I thought so, and when the numbers were posted, his was indeed the winner.JLBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-15087070208658093132009-07-22T09:46:43.056-04:002009-07-22T09:46:43.056-04:00I can understand the lack of emotion.

His owners, trainer, and driver just stood there like it was no big deal, and the afterace interview was just as bad. The guy interviewing was more excited about the win then the owner/trainer. If I were Pepsi, I'd be a little peeved at the fact that they didn't even thank Pepsi for sponsoring the race. And could they try and dress up a bit for the race. Geez, at least look like you didn't just roll out of bed! :)NewHorizonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796515983846741268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560898823512627114.post-33627884055276230672009-07-21T17:32:04.304-04:002009-07-21T17:32:04.304-04:00My personal all time favourite is the emphatic hea...My personal all time favourite is the emphatic head shake when a guy comes first over when he shouldn't.<br />Little Nicky gave one about a month ago, was on the floor in tears laughing.<br />Isaac Waxman was pretty emotional when he first started training....fist pumps and jumping up and down was very commonplace in the Flammy winners circle whether it be a 4500 claimer or the open.<br />As far as the winners circle goes at Mohawk, if I see one more freaking guy holding the horse with a cig hanging from his lip, I swear I will throw a rock at his face!<br />You know who you are scruffmaster2000!<br />Show some respect to the horse man...if it wasn't for him/her you wouldn't have a job!<br />Sorry about the smoking rant, just really bothers me.<br />Carry on! :)<br /><br />Louis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
