Doc Butler
« on: September 02, 2024, 05:04:41 PM »
The late Doc Butler was a great guy.  He also patched quarter cracks, very talented man the nicest guy you wanted to talk to.  He was also the state vet at Yonkers for a while.

We had some great conversations on lameness and about life in general. He was never right after his wife and children were killed in a motor vehicle accident. It’s hard to forget good guys like him in the horse business.

His repair jobs looked like hell, but they held up.

I agree the patches look bulky compared to Ian McKinley’s patches yes they held up good.

  • Trigger: The BigM on life support, no casino, no good, maybe gets the casino and closes racing down.  Without the BigM The SBOANJ might as well be on Mars!  The only thing that stinks more in NJ than Jiffy Jeff & Fatso, is the smell!  ;D

  • MTP1972: Sakit claims he knows Mark Ford and went up to him and asked him if he's resigning. Ford's response was, who are you?
