Opting for the CashCall Futurity and seeing racing at Hollywood Park instead.

Yer kiddin'? Then you'll probably have to meet Dave inTj Mex and I there. And of course Tinny. :)

He'd better meet me there!

I'll play tour guide if he's up for it. :-)

Tin Man, if you are going to the Breeders' Cup, you will be hearing Trevor, who will be calling all of the Breeders' Cup races for the fans at Santa Anita, Breeders' Cup simulcast Network on RTN, breederscup.com, calracing.com, xpressbet.com, and the Horse Racing Radio Network live while Larry Collmus, who will be calling all of these races exclusively on NBC Sports Network and NBC. By the way, on October 20th, after I received the news that Conan O'Brien will be Trevor Denman's guest for the second race last Friday, what I decided to do on that day is to do my own race call of the same race that Mr. O'Brien called at home, and listen to Trevor's call of the other seven races from the Santa Anita Autumn Meet, instead of doing my own race call of all the races from Golden Gate Fields, on the 25th.

I'd much rather hear Vic ... But what can you do?

Trevor will do in a pinch ... When Vic isn't available.

The bright side is that Hollywood Park is about to start ... So we'll get Vic for another 7 weeks or so! :)

Stepping out of the box here ... But that's what longshots are for eh? Upsets.

Wise Dan goes down to either No Jet Lag(8-1) or He Be Fire N Ice(15-1) ... Maybe to both of them.

These guys are really firing on all cylinders right now.

Hewitts 2004 (g) Concerto x Romance Me by Cozzene No photo credit given on PQ but this looks like Davids work (The Tin Man)



Unseated his rider then ran into a stationary object while training at Belmont Park October 26, 2013. RIP.  :'(


You are correct young lady. The pic of Hewitts was one of mine. I wasn't putting in photo credits yet then.

It's a damn shame to lose any of them, but this guy had really paid his dues and earned a LOT of money for his connections. The old guys(Hewitts was 9) really hold a soft spot with me ... and to die that way ... Ugh!

He won his last race ...

He leaves us with the following record ... May this old war horse rest in peace ... although I'd have much preferred he were resting at a farm for many, many years instead ... :(
