I dam near fell off my chair when I saw this article on drf.

Is there any precedent for that?

Also, it was funny how they wrote up Rudy\'s cold streak in the next segment of the piece

That wasn\'t exactly subtle

That was worth a chuckle as well

Hey Jim:

Jacobson still has some shaking their heads over one of his most memorable
claims-- Mabou.

Claimed by Jacobson out of a jump race for 35K at Saratoga on August 4, 2011,
he came back 22 days later and won the National Turf Writers Hcp. It was the
first \"jumper\" that Jacobson ever saddled, and Jacobson admitted that the
horse was not trained over jumps in the three weeks since the claim.

An amazing feat of horsemanship by the usual suspect of the month de jour..

What ever happened to the \'low profile\' version of this?

 In the 21st Century, no one\'s happy unless they are flaunting it.

 If it was me.....

Well I just hope he hasn\'t donated any winnings to conservative causes or he will be in really big trouble!
