Thought Irwin's writing style sophomoric. That of a high-schooler.
- [Jerry] "seeks to surround that vessel with his whales." Ugh.
- "The dream of every horseplayer WORTH HIS SALT would be a card of 12 races, all at 6 furlongs on a dirt track..." Wrong Barry. Are you just stupid?
- "When all is said and done, and the Fat Lady has indeed sung that last note..." Ugh.
Telling when Irwin took his horses from trainer Graham Motion. Dumb move. Good plan, Bar! As to the decision to give recent 2 yr. old debut winner SAVOY STOMP to Pletcher instead of his current trainer Mettee at Fair Hill, I suspect that was really a directive of Pletcher's vet (who serves both Pletcher and Mettee) who didn't want to drive back and forth to Fair Hill all the time. The stuff of legends.
