Last night I stopped in at the Whip Tavern in Springdell, and as they do every Wednesday evening during the steeplechase season, they were showing footage of the previous weekend's races. Jody Petty, who had ridden two horses to victory at Radnor, was there, and it was such fun to watch the footage with him.
One race had a particularly nice finish, and we all congratulated him. He would have none of it, deflecting all the credit to his horse, Mr. Skip, instead.
"Wasn't me," he said. "It was all him."
When the post-race interview came on, he said he could barely stand to watch it, and we all agreed how disconcerting it is to hear your voice on a recording.
