Nice to hear from you, sir. People probably think we encounter each other frequently.

Take horse racing, Romeo and Juliet, and the Martin-McCoy feud. Mix well and you get Kentucky, a movie for which Walter Brennan won an Oscar.

WAY cool!! Belated apologies, btw, for that hideous podcast. I was sick as a dog and should have bowed out.

The great Walter Brennan fascinates me. But accounts of his racism boggle the mind.

Another good one is The Champ starring Jon Voight as a down-and-out gyp trainer (and former boxer) bumming around Hialeah Park.
It features perhaps the single greatest acting performance of all-time, delivered by 9 year-old Ricky Schroder.

Check out the original The Champ with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper sometime.

Re-make of a 1931 movie starring Wallace Beery and a 9 year-old Jackie Cooper. Beery won an Oscar.

Most likely Louisiana Downs quarter horses again. Failing that, perhaps a minimum-wage job in Marketing at Mountaineer. I'm always available for hire !!!!

Well...
It didn't get good reviews. My wife and kids did not like it...
However, a real good test, to really know if you are a true racing fan..
Do you love Let It Ride?
If you do, then you are a racing fan.
If you don't, then you are not a real fan.
Find another sport.
