RE: Case #O33B46A22Z-24

As a former Jockeys Guild member and journalist, I am dedicated to the integrity of our sport.

On or about February 2, 2024 at Tampa Bay Downs, (located at 11225 Race Track Rd N Tampa, FL 33626 United States), a thoroughbred horse owner informed me that he politely asked two men who were wearing the FGCC insignia on their shirts who they were. 

The above mentioned owner informed me that the two men laughed at him “smugly,” then, walked away.

These are the two men:

Candle In The Wind

“…I would have liked to love you,
but I was just a kid…”

“Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

Inflation is a Lie.

We send, “money,” to Ukraine but send words to the Middle East. Imagine how foolish people are right now, believing that inflation is a real thing. Think about it: if we printed “too much” money, nobody would refuse it saying, “that money isn’t worth anything because there is too much it it.” … how STUPID are people to believe that “inflation,” is a cause and effect scenario? Inflation is simply lying about the value of a piece of paper and saying that a banana is worth more of those pieces of paper, as the result of having too many of those pieces of paper!

Cigar in the 1995 Breeders’ Cup

“…followed by Tinner’s Way and Concern is still last; three furlongs to go. CIGAR!!! Cigar Makes His Move; and he Sweeps to the lead with a dramatic rush!”

Allen Paulson named most of his racehorses after aircraft check points and aviation terms.

“Cigar,” is a mnemonic that refers to a pre-takeoff checklist performed by Untied States Air Force pilots. It stands for:

• Controls
• Instruments
• Gas
• Airplane secure
• Run-up.

Use Your Hands; Not Your Mind.

“You don’t get paid for having the idea;
you get paid for producing the Result.”
-Chip Van Hassel

“Culture is missing the Grand Power of Motivation towards the unknown-
that physical action of advancing towards fear,
pushing ourselves to our limits,
so we may therefore push ourselves beyond those limits
to create more advantageous precipices from which, thereupon, we may elevate our efforts;
for we are rewarded
with the strength, courage and some wisdom
which allows us to experience
the Great Power of Motivation
which operates the Sun and the Moon.”

Chip Van Hassel

“You don’t get paid for having the idea;
you get paid for producing the Result.”

Finding the Balance of Harmony

“The closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”

“In the light of fuller knowledge it
will be thought that the claim has lapsed,
or only remains as a pious belief
prevailing among an uncritical minority. …
Whose mental bias predisposes them
to the defense of exploded views.
In such a case, however,
an indiscriminate rejection
is not much less superficial
than an unenquiring acquiescence of a non-proven claim.
The history of debated questions
of his kind
teaches another lesson,
and the closest approximation to truth
is found usually
in the mean of extreme views.”

The Doctrine and Literature of the Kabalah (page 117)

Faith and Deeds

“faith…if it is not accompanied by action,
is dead.”

What good is it,
my brothers and sisters,
if someone claims to have faith
but has no deeds?
Can such faith save them?
Suppose a brother or a sister is without
clothes and daily food.
If one of you says to them,
“Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,”
but does nothing about their physical needs,
what good is it?
In the same way,
faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action,
is dead.

Trick Or Treason!

“…The change that has occurred within the racing industry is not something that is lasting.”

-Retired Journeyman, Christopher Van Hassel

I had always planned to train racehorses after I retired from my riding career, but I had not predicted that the racing business would change the ways in which it has. The change that has occurred within the racing industry is not something that is lasting. Why do I say that?

Judge Andrew P. Napolitano Wrote

“The time has come to nullify government interferences with personal autonomy by disregarding them, and to threaten seriously to leave and ignore the governments that hate our freedoms. If we don’t do this, make way for voluntary servitude.”

“I have been writing for years asking if we still have the U.S. Constitution. That issue has come into sharper focus in the past 18 months as mayors and governors have created dictatorial powers and exercised those powers to interfere with personal autonomy in America.

A Day With Diogenes

by: Terry Ballard

Announcer: Good afternoon, Diogenes. In keeping with your
reputation as a non-conformist, I see that you keep your bathtub
outside of your house.
Diogenes: The bathtub is my house.
Announcer: I see. Well there must be some advantage to that.
Diogenes: Certainly. No window can give a view like this, and if
the neighborhood goes bad, I can just walk off with the house.

Too Many Instructions

“Let Go of any reigns which are not currently in your hands!”

Expecting the Impossible

“A Trainer
can give
enough instructions
to paralyze the rider.”
The best way to find synchronicity is to Trust,
To Allow
and to
Let Go
of any reigns which are not currently in your hands.

Chip Van Hassel

Many trainers expect perfection every second, every step.
Elephants poop in the room whilst perfection is only witnessed briefly in moments displayed as result of training and effort towards the delayed gratification of raising to the next degree.

Too much is too much.

Perfection occurs
only
throughout humble circumstance.
