Thanks for all the comments. A wise man once told me that you meet the same people on the way down as you did the way up.

I want to wish you the best of luck and I hope to see you on TVG soon. I am "just" a fan of racing but in my summer trips (3)to Del Mar I have been so impressed with how accessible the "stars" are. I have gotten more bold every year in talking to trainers and jockeys (and grooms and exercise riders, as well as their wives, girlfriends,sisters and mothers) and hope to get in a barn someday! Everyone has been extremely friendly and I am sure if I had the nerve to ask I would be welcomed.

Atthebarn2...I just wanted to tell you that I always enjoy seeing a post from you. In the several months that I have been blogging with all of you, you have become one of the opinions I respect the most.

It is great to have young enthusiastic people in racing. Good luck blogging, and the pleasure was all mine !!

Surrounding yourself with mentors and people who help you learn is a wonderful thing. It is great you give shout outs to them for their time.

Ryan, Thanks for recognizing that.

Too bad we have so many on other blogs who comment, that feel free to take potshots at us, criticize freely and tell us how to do our jobs on a routine basis.

You are a breath of fresh air and people like you make it so much more fun and easy to be nice too, friendly with.

We are nice by nature, some aren't as outgoing as others but we try.
