I am so angered by this, it isn't even funny. It would be one thing if the tracks themselves or whomever claimed to own the copyright were the ones doing the complaining, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
I just came across this article while doing a search on Partymanners...I don't recall ever seeing a link to this NY Times blog piece posted here...it's a great read, and it shows that Mr. Conti has excellent taste, as he and I share an all-time favorite horse...Holy Bull.
