Before the derby OG gave me Summer Bird to throw in and I quote " As he matures and the distance gets longer watch out" OG is one hell of a capper.

As you know, John, Old Guy has a reserved barstool downtairs at the saloon that was hand made by Mr. Stellwagen almost 60 years ago. Only OG and women in very short skirts with no panties on are allowed to sit upon it.

It's the last of four that were there in 1978 when we bought the house and re-did the bar via Uncle Gary. The other three were broken over heads or simply destroyed by young drunks.

got to meet him for a second, he was being bombarded with reporters. We got to hear his interviews though- nice guy, class act, i am thrilled for him! He loves his horses, he hugs and kisses them in the winners circle... tears of joy filled my eyes, hes so like me! LOL my poor Jack! But he loves it!
