Jockey TD Houghton Returns Like A Warrior, Wins First Race Back At Hazel Park.

From leg up aboard Unbridled Isabel the number 1 of the second race Terry was all business. Cheers from not only me but everyone around the paddock his only focus was totally on the race at hand and who would expect anything different from this professional.

It was one excited crowd that showed up Friday night to see this native hometown jockey of Hazel Park return to the sport of thoroughbred racing. I think even more so for those of us who have worked this industry as well for we know, once horses are in your blood they never leave.

And that’s a good thing. It’s a passion for life and TD wasted no time as he brought his horse across the wire for the win, his first race back. Thousands yelled him home then tears welled up in our eyes so happy for him.

March 1, during the 4th race when his mount named Syeshacat a three year-old filly had a clear lead inside the quarter-pole, when she broke down. Her jockey, Terry D. Houghton, was taken to East Liverpool City Hospital then transferred to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian Hospital where he underwent surgery Sunday for a fractured collar-bone and three chipped vertebrates and is undergoing a second procedure today to make sure his neck and spine are alright.

Thank You Detroit Tigers For A Great Ride!!!

Some will want to give their great analogies of who did what, who didn’t do what and what they all should have done individually. To me they Win as a team and they Lose as a team. No rights, no wrongs.

Hank Williams Jr. Puts A White Sheet and Hood On For America. Can His MNF Intro For Good ESPN.

I want him off of Monday Night Football forever.

Enough is Enough

 

There would be no way in my mind that these words could ever be apologized for. Williams already attempted to do exactly that after ESPN pulled his intro spot for last night’s Monday Night Game. Saying in part: claiming he was simply “misunderstood” when he compared Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.

Then added “Every time the media brings up the tea party it’s painted as racist and extremists – but there’s never a backlash – no outrage to those comparisons.

Gee Hank I wonder why? Your words seemed pretty self-explanatory.

Legalities may halt T.B. meet at Pinnacle Race Course

Jerry Campbell wants a ton of money from the HBPA upfront. HBPA lawyer is looking into the legalities of it all. And Pinnacle won’t guarantee a thing even if $$$ is received. Opening the door for Lawsuits from Horsemen.

Pinnacle Race Course has Clocker Available

CLOCKER AVAILABLE: There will be a clocker available at Pinnacle Race Course on Saturday and Sunday beginning Saturday April 24,2010 between 8:00am and 11:30am. In order, to assist our horsemen and women during this stressful period, the HBPA has agreed to pay for the cost of the clocker. Hope this offers some relief.
