It is that time of the year again. I am another year older, and hopefully a little bit wiser. Well, the first is true, but the second is still up for grabs. I wasn’t around when President Kennedy was assassinated, but I do recall some great music of the 70’s. I have watched Derbies, Darbie’s, […]

Losing the Belmont Stakes favorite to injury the day before the race casts an unequivocal gloom over Belmont Park. Lately, horse racing in New York has been taking a lot of punches.
