I've been a fan from day one, literally, I chose him to win his maiden, so here's to hoping he makes is all the way! <br /><br />Nice post, you know you've written a good piece when you get this many comments! :)Brian Appletonhttp://railrunner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-78354562972131343142011-10-12T19:19:54.778-04:002011-10-12T19:19:54.778-04:00P.S.

Who in their right minds wants to interview THEM?<br /><br />Their interviews are, at best, pedantic exercises in spewing non-offensive clichés & gee-no-kidding information (Trainer to DRF reporter, waving his script: “Damn it, get it straight! I’M the one who’s supposed to say, ‘He’s a very good horse!’ ”).<br /><br />(This “blanket boredom” effect doesn’t include the rare cases such as Rich Dutrow, whose irrational outbursts certainly have made for quotable copy - in the manner that people would be interested in reading an article about a famous businessman who has become unhinged & is now nagging the country about his not having to pay enough taxes, therefore, we all should pay more.)<br /><br />So when a “quote machine” like Repole comes along (ala Bob Baffert, 1990s), the racing media reacts – understandably – like sailors who have just seen their first woman in a decade.<br /><br />Unfortunately, Repole loves the bait & hasn’t rationed his exposure. <br /><br />You’d think with the inescapable example of getting results contrary to expectations set by Speech-A-Day Obama, it would have occurred to Mike to space out his interviews. <br /><br />But he hasn’t, & so at this point, blended in with all of the other irrationalities that are endemic in the sport, here we are. <br /><br />With our hands over our ears.<br /><br />Which is probably why I don’t have an aversion to Repole.<br /><br />Don ReedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-89980532622652108142011-10-07T11:51:20.971-04:002011-10-07T11:51:20.971-04:00sunny: love love love your enthusiasm.

Sure, the endless soundbites get old fast, but he's out there spending money in the sport.

The Gracie and Mo Show will be good for ratings and fuel for the fires of both camps!! Anyone lucky enough to go to this year's BC will have plenty to do and see...Zenyatta's Museum Gala; more Repole than one could ever wish for and the endearing Goldie 4 Peating!!

He'll get demolished at low odds. Better odds on every other male in the field."<br />"He should be in the Dirt Mile!"<br />"He should be in the Mile, breaking up Goldi's 4-peat instead!"<br />"Mo distance, Mo problems."tencentcielohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702523289571195512noreply@blogger.com
