A delay here @TurfwayPark there was someone running from the police!!! He tried to flee via the infield but ran out of steam and was caught by members of our starting gate crew!!! Just when you think you have seen it all!!! 🤷♂️

- Is it really too much to ask that the next governor of New York be a fan of thoroughbred horse racing.
- Nothing like getting bitched at by a jockeys mom or grandmom ( I can’t recall) for not saying his name at all during the race. Happy New Year to me!!! I only had 11 horses to get through, forgive me if a jockeys name doesn’t get mentioned.
- A super huge thank you to everyone who poured out their love today!!! I’m completely humbled and I am on cloud nine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🫵🙏😀
- I’d like to thank @FlGaming @FingerLakesHBPA @nytbreeders for all the years of support. I was treated with love from the very beginning. I’ll miss you all very much. Any announcers interested in the position can contact Todd Haight ( pronounced Height) 585-924-3232 ext 353.
- I just called my first 4 horse field @TurfwayPark!!! A big thank you to @FlGaming for all the years of proper preparation!!! 🤣👍
- I think we saw the Derby Winner today!!! The problem is I’m not sure who it is. I’m leaning towards Journalism because he ran down Barnes, but Sovereignty was so damn impressive!!!
- I’m drinking box wine, cheap ass vodka and ready to eat a frozen pizza!!! Is it 2024 YET!!! Not that it’s really gonna change 😂😂😂
- @FlGaming in the Elevator on the ride up to the booth. What a day, what a crowd!!! Today is the 50th running of the NY Derby. 1:15 pm FAST Track Nine races @nytbreeders @FingerLakesHBPA
- Congratulations @FlGaming @FingerLakesHBPA for hiring @billdownes1 Great Hire!!! Super good announcer, great handicapper. We both started in the mid 90’s and Billy D will be a great asset to Finger Lakes racing. The THUMB is in good hands going forward. 👍
- Friday night at Penn National with my baby girl Jen. It was my birthday and Papa Tony won the opener. Thank you BABY for a great BDAY and a great weekend.
- Quick stop at Mahoning Valley on my way back to Kentucky!!!
