When you have DUI's and a gambling habit you have to continue to work while recuperating from injuries! He definitely doesn't have what it takes for an "On Air Talent" job IMO!👎

Going back through this thread there was alot of bad takes..to many to mention.
This year could turn into a  Riyadh, Life Sign and Presidential Ball type of year in 1993 if these 3 go against each other enough times.
Sit back and enjoy the ride

The needle is coming out on BJ 

Who gives a sh!t about a streak, 15 / 16.

None of these fools care about an elim, as long as they're in.

And that f'ing announcer...."thank you for the streak"...f'ing Canada a horse wins you praise that horse not say sh!t about the loser.

The Battle was AWESOME. Noble just forcing the pace. $250K Race.
These fractions are amazing at these tracks. Rainman was calling for a closer.

You get the rail at Northfield and Luke isn't yielding to anyone even Noble on his home turf! If Luke yields, he gets the shuffle! I knew this even before reading a program

Here's an fitting one for your thread, especially since tonight was The Battle.

Toast To The Flying Turns

Here's a poem I call "A Toast To The Flying Turns",
 I 'll leave it addressed simply, 'To Whom it concerns"

A third straight 'Battle', this year , I did attend.
As a lifelong harness fan, their efforts , I commend.

The racing was first rate, with several records set.
As for pari-mutual access, well it was easy to place a bet

They brought together the finest , to ever go 'Head to head'
About the whole night, nary a bad word could be said.

We just showed up, our group, they were ready for.
As for hospitality, you couldn't ask for more.

They brought some fine drivers, from east to the 'Great white north'
And when we needed early pace, we had Herve to go forth.

They blistered to the quarter in a brisk, twenty-six and three,
'Apache' was on the outside , yearning to go free.

They got down to the half, fifty-five two they were clocked,
Peter Wrenn tipped outside, on the rail he wouldn't be locked.

Herve got Apahe's Fame and 'hung him out to dry',
Only to straighten down the backside, and see Dare You To go by.

He opened up by three before Ray could turn loose 'Jake',
By then only a belated effort could Remman make.

Yes, Dare You To was gone, and he'd not be caught,
Another 'Battle' raced, another 'Battle' fought.
