Thats it  I think he was an airline pilot, or something to do with airlines
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Jim Dolbee, If he had the lead in any stretch, the race was OVA.

The 2 most underrated drivers from Illinois:

Dave Fagan - softest hands with a horse that I've ever seen

  • SwankToliverA: You're right Rainman, much more than Politics in life. Politics should not end friendships or any relationship really. Most ppl believe what they believe and their minds can't be persuaded. Imho

  • rainman2: yes---as i said earlier  more important things than political differences.  betting and owning horses among other things.  many other people in the world have gone through the same exact thing.  people have to learn from these experiences instead of harboring ill-will from them.  The world is screwed up because of thes things.

  • dougie: No blame assigned. Do you actually think we can ever be friends again?

  • rainman2: Dougie---FYI, I never used the word 'HATE'--YOU DID!  Please don't make up excuses to the contrary!  You chose to end it not me!,  Again more excuses.  FYI, you are on a public forum here.  You only have yourself to blame for  your actions.  Don't blame me for this!
