Has it really been 19 years? A while ago I had visitors from IL in town. And to introduce them to Masshole Culture I showed them “And Here Comes the Pizza.” @DonOrsillo and RemDawg at the height of their powers. Never gets old,
This is as bad of news for our industry as we’ve had in a while.
A devastating blow, and most so a devastating situation for so many hard working, talented men and women both in front and behind the camera whose livelihoods are obviously greatly impacted.
This should break everyone’s heart that cares about our business and the people in it.
Zenyatta, a 6-year-old thoroughbred, went undefeated in 19 straight races, 60 Minutes reported in 2010. Her trainer, John Shirreffs, who died last week at 80, shared her unusual diet.
“We give her aloe vera juice because it’s good for their stomachs. And then, if she’s been really good, I could pop open a Guinness and she could have a beer in the afternoon,” Shirreffs told 60 Minutes.
He added that if he offers another type of beer, she won’t drink it. https://t.co/GUfxyq5ZHf
The champ WHITE ABARRIO doing great this morning, came out of the race in good order. Can’t say enough about this special horse, his heart, competitive spirit, and the connection he has with his racing fan base.
Yesterday was a great day for horse racing, three 7-year olds finishing 1-2-3 in a Grade 1 race showing the world these amazing athletes do not need to be retired and go to the breeding shed at 3-4 years olds. Something needs to change for the longevity of the sport, lets get back to racing and not so focused on 3-4 year olds with 6-7 starts hitting the breeding shed. Lets race!
Congratulations to one of our favorites Skippylongstocking, now a Grade 1 winner and to @SaffieJosephJr and his entire team for winning back to back @PegasusWorldCup. Congrats @Tyler_Gaff great ride!
Visited family at senior care facility; talked to an aged Bears fan who asked me to tell him about Bears game & teared up saying he looked & looked but couldn’t find the game on his television. Poor dude doesn’t even know what “Prime” is. NFL greed has gone too f*cking far.
We got an awesome box here! It's from the Bryant University BULLDOGS out of Rhode Island!
Fun fact, I'm going to be a guest teacher for a class at Bryant coming up soon... I can't wait!
Thank you Coach Merritt and @BryantUFootball for sending me this great stuff! GO BULLDOGS!
@MatthewBerryTMR 18 team guillotine league. Zay Flowers no-showed, Stevenson 2 fumbles, James Conner injury. But still would’ve survived the week if Montgomery goes down and the lions run out the clock. But instead the Ravens get the ball back and Mark Andrews scores the meaningless TD to kill me
#OnThisDay in 2019, the final thoroughbred race was run at Suffolk Downs in East Boston, MA. This effectively ended #HorseRacing in New England, the last remaining track being #PlainridgePark. Famous horses that raced there included Seabiscuit, Whirlaway & Cigar.
