I'll try. He's a guy maybe in his 30's, who for lack of a better word has a dorky look and manner about him. He is seen from time to time around arlington and I have heard so many things about him that I don't begin to know what is fact or fiction.

One thing he does do is to wear some odd clothing. On big race days like Kentucky derby, Breeders Cup or Million day, he has a cowboy get-up which is hilarious. He is as much a cowboy as say.... Woody Allen.

The picture you posted I thought might be what he'll look like if we flash forward 30 years.

Those look like losing tickets stuck to his umbrella hat.
Need to start pasting them on the rest of his wardrobe.

Storm Cat- You are by far the weirdest poster ever on either this board or ESPN.

My Miss Storm Cat,
I was too embarassed to reply to this at first, but self deprecation is always the most splendid form of humor. My first thought upon opening that photo was how funny the guy looked, my second thought was My God I own the same EXACT tie. When I was in Louisville two years ago someone was selling those ties and I bought one. I am quite embarassed.

Kind Sir...

Not only are you a gentleman and a scholar, but now i see you're a man of honesty, of intergity, as well.

There's a big difference between buying a silly tie on a whim and going out in public dressed as a walking tribute to a bad LSD trip.

Do you own similar pants? How about the jacket? The hat?

No? You're good! No reason to be embarrassed!

I laughed when I read your post- in a GOOD way. Thanks for sharing as I needed a laugh at this point. I think all Ace fans really needed a laugh at this point. Where's that weeping smiley face again?

Fondly,

My Miss Storm Cat

P.S. Attn: Derby Trail members..... he already has one. We'll have to think of something else to get Oracle for his birthday.....

I have only worn the tie twice, the first time at the 2005 Kentucky Derby on the day that I purchased it, the second time this past Derby week on Oaks Day. I am sorry to say that after viewing that picture I will have to retire the tie. I would not be able to put it around my neck without flashbacks to the picture shown here.
I do not own a jacket or pants of that nature, although as a child in the 70's my mother apparently thought that dressing me in plaid pants for my first communion would be very trendy. The fact that the pictures from that day still exist and have been shown to people(complete with 70's "bowl haircut") is something that is mildly amusing.

And the caption that immediately sprang to mind was
"Ernest Borgnine goes to the track on acid"

My Miss Storm Cat,
I just took a picture of the very same tie that the gentleman in the picture is wearing. I really can't believe that I own it.

Yes, I'd agree it's best to retire it.....
