As a registered nurse, I helped provide care to Ramsey in the past. I pray that he has finally had enough of being “sick and tired of being sick and tired”. We’re cheering you on, Ramsey. Stick with your program and everything will work out.

Comment on Baffert sends out four in Malibu, topped by The Factor by Bob Hill

Until The Factor shows me something in the afternoon (not in the morning) he is a play against for my money. It is dangerous to try to beat Baffert these days, but I think Asmussen has a couple that can do it.

Comment on “Secretariat” movie is lacking a lot of heart by John Martin

I also thought Disney took too much dramatic license. I was eight years old when Secretariat ran the three triple crown races. I watched all three. I remember that Belmont the way I remember Neil Armstrong taking that first step on the moon. What I also remembered was Penny Tweedy owned Riva Ridge. I kept waiting for some mention of that great horse that I had rooted for but it never came. I found the historical inaccuracies distracting. If you knew about Riva Ridge it was hard to buy the drama around the finances. I also think they made a huge mistake not going with the race call.

What, that movie was great! I loved the story line and the story line made the movie exciting. In the movie you always got a villain in this case a competitor or adversary that is what makes life exciting. Movie catch the essence of what happens in a true life movie not a blow by blow life depiction. That’s why it is based on a true story not the actual story. It is about the meaning. I remember the races on ABC but I was young and may not have appreciated the history I was a witness too. The movie gave us a up-close look behind the scenes of what it took to achieve what that horse did which was love, care, training and believing in something beyond what you could see a thing called faith. But the actual footage amazing! Seeing the movie made me want to research the horse, the people and the era of horse racing. You go Disney!!!
