Raw Fandom
From Ernie's daily Thoroughbred Racing In New York email:
I watched Horse of the Year Curlin circle the paddock just as the first was going off. Schooling session. I screamed to Asmussen, "Thanks for running him here, Steve. Thanks for running him anywhere!"
"If he were mine," he said, smiling, "I'd run him every day."
Awww. I'm reminded ... racing is all about the horses.
Related: NYRA is offering free admission and parking on Saturday. For those who can't make it to the track, ESPNews will air the Man o' War live at 5:15 p.m. ET. Thanks!

Cool, I meet Steve Asmussen at Churchill, he was very kind to Curlin's fans and there were a bunch of us. There was not a shred of braggart in SA, he made me and others feel like we were a part of the cog in the sense that our belief in Curlin reinforced his own.
