KIRBY: I know we have had our differences,but not monstrumental. And I appreciate you thinkin of me and reachin out to help.But I'm goona be OK. Just gonna miss certain things like pictures of me wife and me buds from the ARMY. I would take then out yearly and reminence and think how they doin these days. But I member them all and they in me mind, Not got dementia yet and hope to never have. Everyone has helped out and they been terrific. One never new there good be such nice individuals in the world until sumthin like this happens. But JOHN FRANK ARMY,appreciates you offer to help. THANK YOU.

I might mention DOOGIE also for his nice remarks and everyone else.

If they had 80 percent for first and 20 for second then you would see many changes as the Burke fest would be hell for everyone who is cheating less and then like in a MAFIA case the birds would sing and i do not know of any ex top trainer or driver willing to tell the truth,       In sports they are now catching cheats by looking at the gambling and seeing corruption but in harness racing when seeing a horse that should be huge odds and pay 3-2 they somehow do not figure there is a problem and go on to the next race and after the last race goes off you will hear another great night of racing and dont kid yourself by thinking PACER 2 is unique as most horsemen are on the same page and when they dress up in a TUXEDO at years ens to me its the MAFIA awards with people clapping like they do in NORTH KOREA when their leader speaks

Roger Clemens
Sammy Sosa

plenty others I am sure missing off the list

At least other sports mention that these people have cheated and not cover it up and every time someone gets caught in football they will say the player is suspended for substance abuse.   In horse racing its welcome back as everyone missed you but no one ever said they left.

Lance Armstrong
Mark McGwire
Ben Johnson
Marion Jones
Diego Maradona
Alex Rodriguez
Barry Bonds
Tom Simpson

If one day he gets barred for life the very next day will be like the man never existed and never talked about just like RICHARD MOREAU and BILL ROBINSON as no one ever mentions their existence and they believe that they are upstanding people in this game.          They are right about one thing that no one remembers Moreau or Robinson because there are no fans in the game and the year end awards mean nothing to most of the few fans in this game as they mean nothing.
