Have you read the article on Gosger's namesake by Paulick Report. Today, I was wondering who is the “real” Gosger (I am too young to know it turns out) and why was the horse named Gosger and luckily someone did all the leg work. The line about what Satchel Paige said to him was really a cool moment in the New York Mets' (Met's?) life. Worth reading the article by cutting and pasting the address below.

Despite Gosger not winning, this year's Derby and Preakness will always be connected to Uncle Bill as I've documented. What a terrific race on all fronts including the disputed issues of what exactly happened in the Stretch Run. At that moment, I believed there was no way Gosger could lose. Once again, Journalism really didn't make up much ground in the Turn but his Stretch run is devestating and once extricated from the trouble, he streamrolled home. Sand Man was ahead of him at one point . . . and look where they both finished . . . Wow! If Gosger holds, I have a Huge weekend. It still turned out just fine as I only used the top 2 in my Preakness wagers for the win spot. I had checked the exactas a few minutes prior to the race and went and played an extra one for 20 bucks 9-2 and was stunned with the payout of 2-9 which I had 50 bucks worth. A text string with several TG guys noted immediately afterward the late major hit on the Exacta well before Boscar's post, the radio show this morning, etc. FrankD, jimbo, Belmont3, trackjohn all were on it immediately.
Not being able to call Uncle Bill this morning to congratulate the horse's terrific run was a gut punch. So, FrankD has to do for now. Actually from now on. I think we both see it this way :)
