I remember watching races and then hearing someone like Georgie talk about what was going through his mind or what he was looking to do -- it's just incredible.

Could you imagine sitting with John Nerud and talking about training, breeding and just the sport in general?

John Nerud is always great when he is on the show. Unbelievable wealth of knowledge-Tartan surface, being around when NYRA passed on OTB, great trainer and horseman

Any chance of Steve Haskin writing a book with/about Nerud?

I went back to that thread out of courtesy to read what you said, you make some bold points and yes you were correct on many. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, it is America afterall but even knowing what we know now 20/20 hindsight. I would have still ran Big Brown, you can't achieve anything if you don't atleast try.

Lindbergh was quoted as saying "What kind of man would live where there is no danger? I don't believe in taking foolish chances. But nothing can be accomplished by not taking a chance at all."
