Fourstarsallstar
Steve. I finally got around to hearing the Thursday 7/17 show. It's always my favorite show of the week with Rich Eng, Steve Haskin and Tony Black back to back to back. Anyway, I'm glad you got Steve Haskin to talk more about Fourstarsallstar. He was one of my alltime favorite horses, not only because of what he accomplished, but I always just loved his name. I remember watching the weekly racing show on ESPN at the time, I think it was Thoroughbred Digest with Chris Lincoln, and they showed the Irish 2000 Guineas race. There was no internet or TVG/HRTV at that time, so ESPN's weekly show was about the only place to get all the highlites. I just thought it was so great that Leo O'Brien sent that horse over the pond to win and I followed his career closely after that. He was always a competitive horse, and won in graded company in the states, but that race in Ireland is one I'll never forget. Excellent segment with Tony Black as well. I loved the story about the owner of My Juliet not realizing the Michigan Mile was actually 1 1/8 miles.
Thanks again. SMH

SMH,
Thanks so much. Glad you listened to, and enjoyed, Thursday. I thought it was a really fun 3 hours... One of the fun aspects of Thursday is that the direction can go anywhere, and with Haskin, I can ask about anything. I too recall the brothers under Leo's care. I knew little of 4Stars run in Ireland however. I thought Tony Black was UNBELIEVABLE Thursday... I only decided at 4pm to ask about Detroit as a subject because I expected to have Jerry Campbell at 6:30. When Haskin and I started talking about the Michigan Mile (and an Eighth), it just rolled from there. The stuff Tony revealed, like flying back and forth daily Philly-Detroit, and the rest, was all new info to me, and to Haskin too as I found out later. I've received three other Emails about Tony's segment from last week. He's terrific... Archive page if anyone wants to listen: http://www.thoroughbredracingradione...y=17&Itemid=35

This Tony Black is a riot. He is always coming up with amazing stories and the comment you made about writing a book is no joke. I wonder if DeeTeer's can create enough of a ground swell to get "My Juliet" into the hall of fame, or at least nominated. Last edited by Kasept : 07-23-2008 at 09:22 PM.
