I think they left a couple out Dan…

• Q995: When your rider takes the call and then refuses to honor it should you apply a right or left hook?

• Q996: When a dispute with an ADW arises should you consider the players involvement or should you leave a jar of Vaseline at the information booth?

• Q997: When a Vet shows up in the truck once used by Mr. Haney from Green Acres should you purchase the vial marked XXX he has to retrieve from inside the hubcap?

• Q998: If your horse runs up the track at 3/2 should you blame the track surface, blacksmith, rider, racing luck or take it like the people who raised you deserve?

• Q999: In the event a National broadcast asks you about a woman’s involvement in racing should you; A: respect the commitment shown across the country and your daughter’s dignity…or B: drop your soiled pants and fire a Dutrow rocket?

Plenty more where these came from but its too early for more.

PS: On a serious note: (and that was only partially tongue and cheek) thanks for the very interesting thread Dan H! :ThmbUp:
