I don't know if your troll comment was directed at me or not, nor do I really care, but for the record the Times did run a piece on this very thing today (not with Drape's byline). It's on page A23.

Umm... the NY Times has been covering dementia etc. among retired football players and hockey enforcers ad nauseum for at least the past year. The series on Derek Boogaard in December was like 15,000 words.

I'm going to be upstate just north of Hudson on Saturday in a house w/out a TV set and an achingly slow Internet connection, so I want to go watch and wager at one of the OTBs nearby. Does anyone have any recommendations? Has anybody had any experience with the Hour Time in Valatie? I'd prefer not to drive all the way to Albany. Thanks!

Try abebooks.com--I looked and they have something on the order of 15 copies there. It's a little more expansive a clearing-house of out-of-print titles than biblio.com.

anybody see what happened? TV only showed him bolting, and Imbriale said he was pulled up. Little Andy indicated the horse was okay, but Chavez is off the rest of his mounts. Weird.

Sorry, Dana, sawing off the leg of a horse ain't 'part of the game.'

At least at intrade, Obama in PA is trading at a contract of $88-$91. It doesn't look like a terribly deep market, but nonetheless, while McCain getting PA may not be impossible, it doesn't appear likely. Is there a good over/under out there on the margin national?

Not to go too far off topic... but why is the food at NYRA tracks so awful, from the dining room to the franks out back? I've eaten well at every other track I've ever been to--whether it's the frog legs at Gulfstream or the fried shrimp at Oaklawn. For goodness' sake, you can even get a decent steak at the Pegasus at Meadowlands. NYRA could do with a massive dose of improving

okay, this is getting way way off-topic, but that Times-is-a-liberal-rag bit is a balloon that really needs to be popped. When you've got David Brooks and John Tierney lording over the op-ed page, you're hardly a lefty rag.

hear hear, amen! And Drape's Black Maestro (bio of Jimmy Winkfield, last black jockey to win the Derby), just out, is pretty incredible.

you have got to be joking. Joe Drape is one of the very best horse-racing writers on the planet, and Finley is their stringer. The Times spends more time on racing than most publications. You should try reading it at some point rather than posting ignorant comments.
