That, too, will pass.

Look forward to a return to Maggie normalcy -- and the ever-informative close-to-post late tweets.   MW remains on the lead in the NYRA Popularity Derby -- by a margin akin to Secretariat\'s.

Well, if she ever needs positive reinforcement, she should just search herself on this board.....we love you Maggie!!

Ah, that explains it.

I see all her @Mentions and she got included in a twitterstorm right after Belmont day that wouldn\'t let up. Guys railing on everything from #paddockgate to the $40 parking fee to the $30 admission fee.

One guy @mentioned her 10 times in rapid succession on Sunday evening, then another 10 times early Monday morning.

Must\'ve drove her up a wall.

The block feature is fairly effective. Andy Serling uses it liberally.

Agree with Maggie leaving the Twitter verse because of the negativity..but, if you were a horse player but attending the Belmont you were massively disappointed not just for the previously mentioned​ issue but the one that hasn\'t been mentioned is NO Wi-Fi or even non Wi-Fi internet access via cell after the 6th. race... apparently clueless Kay and his minions decided not to expand their cell/Wi-Fi bandwidth like EVERY OTHER MAJOR RACING VENUES on high days...

It there\'s an operative in racing with thinner skin than Andy\'s, he/she has yet to make him/herself known.
