Default Happy Birthday to Chuck..
He can't hide it! Since I now know that Chuck has the same birthday as my brother, it will be hard to forget... I believe he's 41 today, and obviously, most here wish him the happiest of birthdays. While there will undoubtedly be many expressions of well-wishing and mirthy ribbing, I'll start this off by saying how appreciative I am, and so many are, of Chuck's generousity in making the Stable work. His good nature has made something possible for more than 100 people who never thought they could be involved in racing as owners. I don't know of anyone else in the game who has gone so far out of their way to help fans become part of the industry.

Happy birthday to Chuck... Many, many more... Thanks for everything!

Thanks Steve for bringing this to light....I just can't imagine Chuck not self-promoting his Birthday

Happy Birthday to a great guy and a great trainer. I told him once, there are a lot of reasons that I don't sleep at night, but having you as a trainer will never be one of them.

Let me add my best wishes on this day you'd probably just as soon forget (and have everyone else forget).
