About 15 yrs ago we were at Red Mile one Sun night, a friend wanted to open up horse he thgt was a lock really short early at RM & hope to float up & get 4-5 or so. So he bets $400 win a couple races early.... (1/3)

- If you NEED one final season at The Pomp so we can all say our farewells, could you do me a favor and ‘like’ this tweet. #OneMoreYear
- Nice day in Lexington, massive crowd for a press conference that doesn’t start for two hours, and I happened to be driving by the moment Mark Pope popped out of an SUV to be introduced as new head coach.
00:00 - I used to officiate HS basketball, have played, have coached, have bet one million games, have watched one million games, & have attended many. In all of that, I believe this is absolutely the worst call I’ve ever seen seen in basketball.He will be judged by god for this when he gets to the gates of heaven one day.
- I woke up this morning & text my friend about what polo he would like to wear today on the broadcast. Within 60 mins, I learned he was unresponsive at his hotel room. I can’t put this into words, it’s unfathomable. Please keep his family in mind. A colleague, coworker
- The Pomp goes dark for the final time, well after 1 am this morning 😑
00:00 - The reason for the delay at Pompano is Command The Fire refuses to leave the track still 10 mins after he won the 5th race
00:00 - The last few days have been a fog with closing day etc, but I did welcome a new member to the family as well. Happy to report a healthy son of Downbytheseaside.. given his choice of arrival time, I think there is only one name he can have…. LongLiveThePomp
- Live racing WILL officially return to Pompano Park next season (2021-22)!
- Replying to @gabe_prewittI know many said he could be really sour and rude to deal with, but my only interaction made for a legendary day in Vegas. And in the biggest upset ever, I think we both left pretty good winner. RIP Pete, hope your last ticket was a winner as well
- Going to check a big one off the bucket list, just booked my first trip to Saratoga! See you in two weeks. Short trip, but anything in town I must see? Other than the track obviously.
- Some personal news I’m pleased to announce I’ve been named the official Friday night track announcer at Northfield Park for 2025! The good news is I start that assignment tonight (6 pm), the bad news tonight is the only Friday night they race in 2025! $4k P5 C/o #SendItIn
- Still no words, 27 years old with 2500 career wins, a young family, and a lifetime ahead… rest easy Hunter Myerssmh gone to soon
00:00 - It’s the final Tuesday ever at Pompano Park, with only two racing cards remaining in our 58-year history. A solid 12-race card, we’ve got two 12% takeout Pick 4’s! After tonight, all roads lead into closing night this Sunday 😑😑
