A neophyte racing fan I had become friends with, described to me having a wonderful experience at racetrack, and had become friends with the Chief, and had become a frequent visitor at the Chief's barn. I asked the friend whether they had ever seen, and read, Haskin's marvelous article on the Chief, and one of his horses. They hadn't. So I printed out. The friend loved it, just as I had.

The friend's and my curiosity got the best of us, as we looked at each other and wondered whether the Chief had ever seen and read this article. The friend was going to visit the Chief's barn the coming weekend and promised to bring the article and show him. True to form about not reading one's press written about you, let alone believing any of it, the Chief told my friend that he had never, ever seen the article. The friend would tell me though, that the Chief did tell him that he liked the article after reading it.
