Damn....he must have really stepped in it, since I think he and Oaklawn were a great fit and they liked him in the job.
I will miss his race calls.

There's nothing about this on Bloodhorse or Paulick yet. I'll be interested to see if/when we get an article with any info.

I won’t go in depth describing the tweet but if anyone remembers the Seinfeld episode, “The Contest”, that should give you an idea. In his tweet, Vic was George Costanza and his brother was George’s mother. The described incident occurred several years before the aforementioned TV episode aired.

They fired him over that??? So someone got offended because it reminded them of a similar experience that happened to them and they didn't like it. I just don't understand how this offends someone, unless he went into EXPLICIT detail or posted a pic of said incident happening. And either way, the people who were offended must not frequent Twitter much cause I've seen way crazier stuff than that.Curtis wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 12:22 pmI won’t go in depth describing the tweet but if anyone remembers the Seinfeld episode, “The Contest”, that should give you an idea.

I’m guessing maybe Oaklawn was looking for an excuse and that fell, ahem, in their laps. He’s been radio silent since then, although he was going to participate in that National Handicapping Competition in Vegas. Maybe he’s conferring with Lester Laderstein, Esquire—of the erstwhile Del Mar Fan Forum fame—to plot his next move.Flanders wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 4:18 pmThey fired him over that???

"if anyone remembers the Seinfeld episode, “The Contest”, that should give you an idea...."
I never watched "Seinfield," so I have no idea what was in Vic's Tweet.

The episode is about them trying to see who could last the longest without pleasuring themself. And when George loses, his mom walks in during the deed.

Thanks for the brief synopsis of that scene. Now, I just have to guess what Vic Tweeted.

Curtis said, Vic was retelling a story that happened in his past. Vic = George and Vic's brother = George's mom, same scenario.BaroqueAgain1 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 10:11 pm Thanks for the brief synopsis of that scene. Now, I just have to guess what Vic Tweeted.
