"When I was making my own figures."

Why did you stop?
Your calculator battery die?

I was making figures before pc's. So a calculator was actually pretty important.
I explained before why I stopped making figures. Also, couldn't feed a family on betting horses. Had to get a real job. How much you lose on horses?

Nice choice of avatar btw. Appears to fit you perfectly in every way possible!

I hear Denny applied for the job as DRF chief speed figure maker before they went with Beyer. Even showed up to Crist's office with calculator in tow.

All makes sense now.

Grits,

Timeline:
2014 Crist has heart attack
2016 Crist retires from DRF
2017 Crist gets Eclipse Award

He was well enough to go back to work for two years and go pick up his eclipse a year later.

Then he deserted the game. Why can't i point that out?

You all make it sound like spending two weeks in a hospital is the end of the world and - i can't say a bad word about him.

If he truly loved the sport, he'd still be active in some way imo.

You're such a jerk Mike.

Doubling down on your dickness I see. No, wait, maybe that was a triple-down.

Guy can't retire after spending 35 years of his life as an advocate for the horseplayer, with he himself being a horseplayer, without some jackass on the internet calling him out for retiring after 35 years and one major heart attack.

Let me guess, you either got fired from the DRF at one point, or they never hired you in the first place.

BTW, Beyer's Par times are atrocious. Mine were far better.

Only to those who deserve it. And you qualify in spades.

We are getting so warm, aren't we? You're a disgruntled ex- or non-employee.

BTW, I think you're personally responsible for the last 3-4 donations I've received since last night.

Thanks buddy!

[PaceAdvantage]

BTW, don't forget to post about all the emails and PMs you've received warning you not to go against Serling, NYRA, or any of the "NY Crew," or you'll get banned by me.

I always enjoy it when someone drags out that tired old meme.

[Denny]

I didn't call him out for retiring.

It was awful he had a heart attack, but, it didn't stop him from working afterwards or flying to Miami for his award.

I called him out for leaving and not contributing anymore.

Or was it just a job that he made a living at - all along and now he's "retired"?

Screw the current horseplayer and the game he lived off of. Is that what he's doing in effect by his silence?

Why don't we just conclude with a very simple concept, dude???

THIS IS NOT YOUR CALL.

This was an extremely successful man, in his chosen field. He retired, something people do every day. While you, on the other hand, are here, on a public message board, wailing and moaning like an errant preschooler.

Admit you were out of line or just STOP! Sadly, what escapes you is the fact that you're appearing worse by the hour.
