A little story Phil Langley told at a banquet 20 or so years ago about his first job interview at Sportsmans Park.
I can't remember who Phil said was the boss then so I will just use The Big Boss.(Maybe Stormy Bidwell).
"I am fresh out of college and go in for an interview with The Big Boss. I tell him I will take any job. He says sorry kid we are full up. But I will do anything. Sorry kid.
As I turn to walk out I mumble WELL I WILL BE A S.O.B.
The Big Boss says wait kid. Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be the RACE SEC? "
I doubt if it happened that why, but it did get a lot of laughs.
Peine is like that. I’ve been told nightmare stories about Langley. Also heard someone from Michigan back in the day slep Langley in the face? Any truth? I do think one of these young gun trainers will take a swing at Peine one of these days. I think he does know that so pretty sure that’s why he always stays back in his office with his door closed and makes Kelly deal with the horsemen who wanna beat his ass.
