I'll just say that this story touched me.

ML Whitney has done a lot for racing. Had I been at the track, I would have been applauding like crazy. So many were.

From the pic... she looked great! But I'm sure it stood her hair on end when the winner of her coveted hat contest was a beer can hat!!

Was she on ESPN ? Did I miss her ? I saw her picture. She looked wonderful and I admire her determination and class.

When she gets rid of her locust valley lockjaw then I will respect her. People that talk like that are elitist snobs.

LOL, I dont know what that is but its funny.

Wanderin Boy has a perfect trip and drops like an anchor with absolutely no fight in him at all.

I still think he got wacked in the head with a stick.

Think Thurston Howell III on Gilligans Island and you basically have Locust Valley Lockjaw. If you ever heard MJW speak you would want to hit her with a bat.

Mary Lou has been a great ambassador of the game, but "she looks great?" She has had more nips and tucks than Joan Rivers

I think the "she looks great" was referring to her recovery from a stroke.
