HOF blows it again.
« on: June 13, 2023, 11:48:16 AM »
Once again the geniuses at Goshen have screwed it up again - They wait until the great Lucien Fontaine is 83 and dead for a year before inducting him! He might have liked to enjoy his day with his peers while he was still alive! Maybe 8 or 9 years ago, ya think?

Mike Petrelli tried out for track superintendent but was hired for bathroom attendant.

That's true about his getting the news. Glad Marc will be there. Funny story about that kid. He was
 such a screw up when he tried to launch his own training/driving career mid 80s at YR. He was in my barn at YR and rarely showed up before 10 or 11 am. Anyway his grooms knew that and around 9 they would bring 3 or 4 horses out and put them on the outside cross ties. Throw a cooler on them, wet their legs and tell Marc when he showed up that everything got jogged and trained. LOL  Another time he was gonna claim an 18K from us. He forgets to sign the claim slip. Following week, Earl Cruise claimed the horse from us. Next week, Marc goes to claim the horse from Earl. Forgets to sign the claim slip again. He ended up getting a shiny chrome rig and transporting high value horses of all disciplines all over the country for a living.
