Eddie:

Speaking of fiddling, I enjoy the Charlie Daniels/Geico TV commercial.

\"Thats how its done, son.\"

For those who say we as horseplayers have to stand up and be heard, the solution
is slightly more involved. After standing and speaking, you need to sit. Sit
squarely on your wallet. Let the folks in charge know that you are not
participating because you are not happy with Racing.

If I decide to boycott Racing, I wont start this weekend. As Covel points out,
Gulfstream provides some good wagering events. A race which caught my eye is race
5 at Fair Grounds, where some of the entrants are very hard knocking runners in
the 7YO - 11YO range, all of whom have solid recent form.

In the 6th at FG, there\'s an Asmussen runner on a 5 race win streak who seemed to
have moved up ever so slightly under Stevie\'s care during the Autumn.

Fair Grounds. Gulfstream. NFL wild card games. Mrs. Richiebee on a wild shopping
expedition which should keep her off-site for most of the day. Thats about the
best I can do at LRD in the dead of winter.

Thats how its done, son.

Seems like the boycott of racing is already going on---planned or unplanned.
