I'm sick. I just got a call from Brereton Jones, the former governor of Kentucky. He said that everybody is so down about this because they thought this horse was so good for racing. It's not life or death. It's just a hair fracture. But it took my breath away when I heard the news.
They were very private people. Gene approved the idea (for the television movie) but he didn't want to be involved. He said it would be too difficult for him.

That I would rather be in another business where a bad cold wouldn't put me out of work.

I've outlived all my diet doctors.
I will not be back after these messages
