Lets not forget that Dave Hicks and Terry Meyocks were part of the baggage Kenny Noe brought with him from Florida. The whole thing is longer and deeper than most want to remember.

Neither was Terry Meyocks " fired " He, Dave Hicks and Kenny Noe had enough brains to bail out before it hit the fan.

I guess my point is that IT IS NOT JUST a coincidence that all three resigned/fired/retired on the same day. NYRA is not a convent. And neither is this a convenient retirement- Well its time to go I have been here 30 years, time for a new challenge. YEa, Ill give ya one - move over to Finger lakes.

He was "asked" to retire

There was no implication....there was a statement of fact..."there is a reason"..why there are so few horses running at this Belmont meet. So cj asks what the reason is and PA says there is no need to rehash this! HUH? Here's a reason...he asked you a question. I'm asking the same question...what is the reason why there are so few horses running at Belmont this year? Thanks in advance for your considerate reply!

Wow...that was fast!

I don't have one definite answer as to why there is a shortage. All the reasons brought forth when combined certainly point to why there is a shortage (recent disease outbreaks, new drug testing procedures, mare reproductive loss syndrome). Sounds reasonable to me....

I'm not sure how a racing secretary could be responsible for a horse shortage, unless he was somehow repelling horses away from Belmont...LOL

I've heard nothing but good things about Mike Lakow at the helm all these years. But, like the baseball manager analogy, I suppose all you need is one bad meet, and all they need is someone to blame it on....

What is your problem? Did I not reply to CJ fast enough for your liking? You're trying my patience big time. You've got a hardon for me, and I don't find it appealing.

Or all you need is new captains at the helm of a sinking ship.

And what is up with the attitude from Dancer's Image?? It's surprising the administrators here put up the crap and disrespect.

I didn't realize you were so slow, that I have to spell this out for you:

If one says "there is a reason", this does not necessarily equate to "I KNOW THE REASON"

So yes, there can be an implication, and NOT a statement of fact.

Example: "There is a reason why this happened" does not equal "I know THE REASON WHY this happened" Two different animals.

Carry on....and get off my ass...

What is your problem? Can't you read? I posted at 1244 PM my time when you had not at that time, already answered cj. You posted at 1247 and I edited my post at that time saying "wow, that was fast".

You probably don't find me appealing, since I point out how rude you are, and you give me frequent opportunities. You need some more patience, and you certainly need to learn some manners.

By the way, after I posted at 1244 my time, kindly repeating the same question that cj asked and asking for an answer, and thanking you in advance for your kind reply, you send me a private message, which could be considered "assault"....

Keep off my ass.

I don't like being threatened! Please feel free to ignore me if you wish, but don't threaten me!

There is a reason is a statement of fact, it is not an implication. If you don't know the answer then say so, don't say there is no need to rehash the issue!

You're telling someone they need to learn manners?????

PaceAdvantage · 07-14-2005, 04:10 PM

Now "Keep off my ass" is assult?

On what planet? It was ADVICE, kind of like a BUMPER STICKER --
"KEEP OFF MY ASS -- you're driving too close"
-------------------------------------

But, we all know what happened the last time someone publicly posted a private communication from me....oh well....

At least now we can get back to the subject at hand, with no more "thread hijacking" hijinx to distract us.
