some slight glimmers of truth, but he mostly comes off as a guy who went to the track himself maybe a handful of times and then decided to make some judgements that make me think hes an ass---. besides I personally do not do my gambling while drunk, Ive got enough of a challenge handicapping

Hadn't seen this one.. Thx for posting it Curt.

Yet another ill-informed opinion. Dan Wetzel should stick to fantasy baseball and his similar high brow contributions to sports journalism. It is remarkable how much ignorant commentary this episode has produced... And not just from outside the pale of racing.

Something had to fill the vacuum of commentary from the leaders of the horseracing industry.

Where do we vote for Racing Czar? Is that one of Dinny's Committees?

Exercise is a missing ingredient for Dan Wetzel.

The crap that passes for journalism is amazing. Stereotypes, generalizations, misleading or false statistics. Lazy garbage being spewed at almost every turn.
I never knew I was such a disgusting person that drugs his horses, runs them when they are too young and then get hammered and checks out babes when I go to the races. I thought I had problems before...........
