You're not that far off. Steinbrenner used to own Balmoral if I'm not mistaken.

I used to be a big fan of the Yankees. I loved the team they had in the late 70's with Jackson, Munson, Nettles, etc. Oh, and how can I forget Louisiana Lightning? Didn't he go 25-3 one year?

One time I was walking around the Arlington Park backstretch looking for a job with my Yankee hat on. I came to this barn and asked if they needed help. I didn't say what kind of help because I thought it was obvious I was looking for a hotwalkers job because of my young age. Guy say, "yeah, we need help."

The guy wants me to rub a 2yo .... a 2yo owned by George Steinbrenner. He says, "make sure you wear that hat when Mr. Steinbrenner comes by for a visit." I'm like WOW! That's cool.

I didn't make it that far. The 2yo was nuts, and I had no experience rubbing horses. It was a nightmare. A fun nightmare, I guess.

The trainer was a young dude by the name of Burch. Had red hair from what I remember. Paid me in cash because I was underage.

The name of the filly escapes me. I wanna say it was BABY DUCK. BABY something. A grey filly. 2yo's are nuts in general, but this one especially. I can't believe I didn't get hurt.
