Swift,
You need to stop backpedaling now.
Professional attacks on the industry or about professional opinions are always productive and useful.
Criticism on someone individually, questioning what they are doing professionally, in my opinion, is also productive.
There is never a need for any physical altercation.
Criticizing someone personally, with no substance, and adding bullshit on top of that lack of substance, is just disrespectful and where you lose your credibility.
90% of the information on news you “break” is only because this game is filled with liars, cheaters and cowards. They only give you the information, whether it’s true or false, because they know you have the guts to post it.
I can have a dialogue with you. I can agree with you. I can disagree with you. I can call bullshit on you.
I don’t give a flying f$&k if people in this industry love, like, hate or loathe me. With so many cowards in this game, for Pat Cummings to do what he has done in the last three years is amazing.
From spearheading our efforts in just the last year to get slaughter banned, to understanding every detail of aftercare and lobbying industry groups to drive more funding and help reorganize it, to his endless dialogue with leaders like David O’Rourke at NYRA on policies to improve the situation with CAWs, dialogue on Equibase data, HISA and more, and doing his best to build a bridge between me and the Jockey Club, it is a task and a job that NO ONE in the industry would have had the courage to take on.
In a game filled with envy, greed, jealousy and intense competition, you won’t find anyone in racing leadership that cares more about this sport, or is respected and liked by more people in the industry than Pat Cummings.
I know you are now starting to backpedal because you upset a really good, high level source with Ingordo, while you spent years ass-kissing him as the greatest evaluator of talent in the history of Thoroughbred racing. 😂
I know what you are doing here. You’re not fooling me.
I know I inspire you and you view me as your biggest mentor and idol 😂. I need to go and finish my powder donut now.
P.S. Send me your shoe size and I’ll send you two pairs of Nobulls. I need you to get out and start doing 10k steps a day.
