 BALANCE 




         In 1923, eight of the wealthiest people in the world met.
         Their combined wealth, it is estimated, exceeded the wealth of the government of the United States at that time.

         These men certainly knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth.
          ​But let's examine what happened to them 25 years later.

         1.   President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, lived on borrowed capital for five years
                   ​before he died bankrupt.

         2.   President of the largest gas company, Howard Hubson, went insane.

         3.   One of the greatest commodity traders, Arthur Cutton, died insolvent.

         4.   President of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was sent to jail.

         5.   A member of the President's Cabinet, Albert Fall, was pardoned from jail to go home and die in peace. 

         6.   The greatest "bear" on Wall Street, Jessie Livermore, committed suicide.

         7.   President of the world's greatest monopoly, Ivar Krueger, committed suicide.

         8.   President of the Bank of International Settlement, Leon Fraser, committed suicide.



         What they forgot was how to make a life!
         It is stories like this that give the readers the false impression that money is the root of all evil. That is not true.
         Money provides food  for the hungry, medicine for the sick, clothes for the needy.
         ​Money is only a medium of exchange.
         We need two kinds of education. One that teaches us how to make a living and one that teaches us how to live.
         There are people who are so engrossed in their professional life that they neglect their family, health and
             ​ social responsibilities.
          If asked why they do this they would reply that they were doing it for their family.
          Our kids are sleeping when we leave home.    They are sleeping when we come home.

          Twenty years later, we turn back, and they are all gone. We have no family left. That is sad. 





      ang  lalaking  iibig  sa  aki'y
      di  ko iibigin  bilang isang kalakal
      o kaya'y ipagyayabang
      na parang  isang  tropeo.
      siya'y  mananatili sa aking
      piling, taglay ang  pagibig
               kong nadarama
         kapag  siya'y  kapiling.

A secret to tell
I got something they don't have
and baby it's you that is lifting me high
I just wanna be close to you
'coz I understand
the strength of your hand
Oh and love that you put me through
you're more than a friend
so love me again
Baby you're full of affection
people stop and smile
Maybe they see my intention
to make life worthwhile
A secret to tell
now there's nothing holding back
'cos baby it's you that is making me fly
I just wanna be close to you
'cos I understand

​  OF A  LONGSHOT.
What is the 90/10 Principle ?

               10% of life is made up of what happens to you.

                90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean?

We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down.
The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.
A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
How? By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction.

Don't let people fool you;

YOU can control how you react. Let's use an example.
You are eating breakfast with your family.
Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened.
What happens when the next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears.
After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table.
A short verbal battle follows.
You storm upstairs and change your shirt.
Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.
Your spouse must leave immediately for work.
You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school.
Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase.
Your day has started terribly. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home,
When you arrive home, you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.
Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is D.
You had no control over what happened with the coffee.
How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time." Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs.
After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having. Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why?
Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens.
The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass.

You don't have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day.
A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired,
Getting stressed out etc.
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic?


Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel?
A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off! Do you curse?
Does your blood pressure skyrocket?
Do you try and bump them?
WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later to work?
Why let the cars ruin your drive?


Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.



You are told you lost your job.
Why lose sleep and get irritated?
It will work out.
Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.
The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day.
Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant?
She has no control over what is going on.
Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger.
A hidden hand smashed your overtime .
Make a decision…Nail it.
Why get stressed out?
It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle.
Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.
You will lose nothing if you try it.
The 90-10 principle is incredible.

Very few know and apply this principle.

The result?
Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. There never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It will change your life.

Have a Great Day & and even GreaterTomorrow!

 .............................  JOE NOEL CAMU           VS           LYNDON NOEL GUCE..........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Kasikatan nuon  nina  Noel  at  Ebot.
Medio nakalalamang bahagya si Noel  dahilan sa  wika  nga ng
mga  karerista  ay "napupubliko ang hinete".-whatever that means.
But for me, they have almost  the same God-given talents which
they  have utilized  fully well.  Whether  they  were together in   the
same race or not, they were  always  a  sight  to  watch,  making  
​the fans  so glad and delighted especially when they  see  a thrilling
​come-from-behind​  victory  so smooth and performed to perfection.

Buenas Hija  just came fresh from a victory a couple of weeks back.
Trish Baby will be ridden for the first time by Ebot, making​ the fans think
"hindi pa daw gamay ng hinete".,and so after the parade of horses,
Buenas Hija comes out the first favorite, Trish is 3rd in the betting.


At the far turn, its Trish Baby by a  length and a half, Buenas Hija  is
still  tercero puesto, making  her backers  somewhat nervous.
​​​​​​​​​​​Into the homestretch Trish maintaining one and a half,  with the
lucky daughter  now  running in second  but  cannot get  closer
as fast as the  fans  expect  her  to.
With 200 meters to go, everybody is sensing an upset.
Trish Baby still by a full length with Buenas Hija on the  right flank.

But as they crossed the wire, track announcer  is  silenced  due  to
the sudden  rush  of  Buenas Hija, making it  too  close  to  call.
Magnificent ​Photo Finish,  causing  the  blood  pressure
of  the  Lyamadistas  to  rise.​
BUENAS HIJA  made it by half a head...kalahating ulo.​​ 
and if you are interested  to know how these stretch riders do
the trick, its better if you ask the jockeys themselves...because
if you try to ask even the veterans amongst the racing fans,
they ​ cannot  explain  all  the  races  they  see...
​.in  other  words, hindi naman sila  ang  nakasakay sa kabayo,
Papano  nila  ipapaliwanag  ang  final  10  seconds
na ginawa ​ni Noel  sa  karerang  iyun.?

.....​ paboritong expression nung araw =  metang-meta.  


​​
​​​​​​​​That is why he is called Supremo.

GK 49

....."mahiwaga  ang  karera".....
Yan ang  mga  katagang hindi ko malimutan sa nasira kong
kaibigan na racing fan din, si Rudy ng marikina..
Dagdag pa niya "walang magaling magaling sa karera".
Kahit mahusay daw ang  analysis  natin, nasisilat din.
Isang halimbawa ay ang sakay ni kiko nung araw  na  si
EYES of GRACE....deboka at mahusay na mananakbo.
Nang panahong iyon,  may distansyang 1690 meters  sa MJC.
Ang mga panalo ni Eyes of Grace ay puro sa 1500 mtrs.
Kaya pagparada niya sa 1690,  ay  natercero lyamado  siya
at malayong dehado.  Papasok ng homestretch, nagtataka ang
mga racing fans kung bakit nasa harapan pa si Eyes of Grace
at nawawala sa eksena ang  primero at segundo lyamado.

Nanggaling sa panalo si Zipper King , banderang tapos sa
Sta.Ana  at  milya  pa ang  itinakbo....kadalasan  ang
​ibig sabihin nito ay mahaba  ang hininga  ng  kabayo
​ kahit nasa unahan  siya.   Kaya  sa susunod  na takbo niya -
ay na line-up  sa san lazaro 1500 mtrs. 
​Common   sense  dictates -
Kapag ​nanalo ka sa milya, dapat ay kayang kaya mo ang 1500.
Nagharap si Zipper King at si RAYO  sa  1500 meters.
Malayong second choice  ang deremateng  RAYO.
Napakagandang panuorin itong kabayo ni Dave na Zipper King,
​parang  humuhukay ng buhangin kung  tumakbo,  kamukha niya  sina Mazurka  at  si Rompe Candado  nung  araw.

At the clubhouse turn, Zipper King  in  a  racing  display
of early speed....opening up 2 lengths,  Rayo  at  this point
is watching in fourth position.​​ ​​​​
Pagsapit ng homestretch,  hindi nagbabago  ang complexion.
Punong-puno  ang  kabayo....Zipper King  still by 2 lengths.
​si  Rayo   ay bumuka  pa  nga  ng bahagya,

​​
Last 200 meters, 2 lengths ang distansya ni Zipper kay Rayo.
Sigaw ng mga fans:
   " Layo Zipper King, Layo Zipper King..."
 Last 100 meters, lumalapit na ang Rayo.
Kaya ang sigaw na  "Layo Zipper King",
ay naging  " RAYO,  ZIPPER KING "
pagtawid  nila  ng  meta.
Forecast comb = Rayo / zipper king.​

..Nang bata pa sila, hindi sila gaanong kilala sa Bong at Boboc.
 Ang tawag sa kanila ay Jockey Jesus at Jockey Eduardo.
Pareho silang nanalo sa abroad. Kahit tig-isa lang na panalo,
ay panalo pa din yun. PARTY BELLE kay Boboc at SHARDA
naman kay Maestro. Pareho silang nakagawa din ng ADS
(advertisement). Airplay sa TV yan take note, at hindi ads lang
sa dyaryo at magazine. At pareho silang may linya (script).

Script ni Bong:
 "Magandang araw sa inyo. Ako po si Jockey Jesus, bilang isang
  hinete, ako ay nangangailangan ng isang matibay at kumporta-
  bleng brip. Kaya DANDY ang aking gamit. Basta DANDY, pat
ok."

Script ni Boboc:
   Bert Marcelo: "Jockey Eduardo, ang galing mo talaga."
   Eduardo       : "Suerte lang Bert."
   Bert Marcelo: "Basta ikaw Jockey Eduardo, PATOK ."
   Eduardo       : "Pero meron akong mas patok."
   Bert Marcelo: " ano yon?"
   Eduardo       : "San Miguel beer."

GK 46













Kaya minsan, mahirap yung suspindi ka na lang ng suspindi.
Bara-bara   at  basta-basta  ang pagpataw ng suspension.
Abuse of authority ang tawag dyan.
Natalo ka lang sa taya mo, sususpindihin mo agad yung hinete.
Kung hindi mo man masuspindi,  aabangan mo ang araw
kung  kailan  sasablay  ang  hinete, chaka mo sisibakin.
Dapat parehas ang labanan, kaya ka nga napwesto dyan,
pangalagaan mo katungkulan mo bilang race official.
Your aircon room is not a room for ventilation of emotions.
ALways be fair and just in the performance of your duties.
Ang gusto nyo ay puro kabig....kabig na lang ng kabig.
Tingnan nyo  ang  ginawa  nyo  kay dh borbe.
Kasikatan  ni BoRnok  mga  taon 1995 to  1999,
Sunod sunod ang mga panalo  niya.
Naglabas ng mga segundo at tercero lyamado,  tinalo  ang mga
taya ninyo.  Sa  galit ninyo, inabangan  ninyo  kung  kailan
matatalo  nang  lyamado si BoRnok,  pagkatapos  binira ninyo
ng  lack of interest  por que hindi  lang kayo natimbrehan.

Naka-3 sunod sunod na panalo si Horoscope...magaling  talaga
ang kabayo.  Popular na kwadra pa nung panahon na yun...
Matindi ang connections.​
​Dumating ang  araw nakaharap niya  si
Favorite Son na  natercero lyamadong malayo sa bentahan.
Ang pairing kay Horoscope  ay 1.40 -  estimated div,
uno cuarenta  sa  piso., kaya kapag ang  taya mo ay 200.,
ang kukubrahin  mo  ay 280.

Papasok ng homestretch, by 2 lengths si Horoscope,   heka  ng
mga karerista - "workout"  at umikot lang ang kabayo.
Last 150 meters, dinaanan siya  na  parang​​​​​​ walang
kahirap-hirap ni Favorite Son., at  kahit anong  tulak at palo
ni Butchoy,  ay  hindi maka-recover  si  Horoscope.
Favorite Son  scores major upset.​
Common scenario -- galit na galit ang fans.​
"Hinintay  daw",  sabi nila, but this is very hard to prove.
Marahil, masama lang ang mga loob...."1.40  na nga lang,
ay matatalo pa​​​​", hinagpis ng mga natalo.

But 2 months after the hazzle, Butchoy and his comrades
were vindicated.   Favorite Son won 3 more races with
faster clockings than Horoscope., nag-umento  at
talagang mas mahusay ang mga pruweba....​
​and it was more than enough
to prove  once and for all to the racing afficionados
​that the victory over Horoscope  was not a set-up.​​​​

GK 48

TRICIA   VS   GODSPELL​
JESUS C. GUCE...........FRANCISCO G. FERNANDO

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

One of those unforgettable races ever recorded  in the​​ library
of the San Lazaro Hippodrome​., such a splendid match-up.,
the stuff that  memories are made of.
It was not a derby race, but it looked better than a derby race.​
Two great horses ridden by  2  legendary riders who need
no introduction even to the non-cognizant racegoer.​ ​​
Bong Guce and Kiko Galang left behind memories to the racing
fans' mind  like a  blue print  to an architect's  work of art.
Their talent was just so natural that everytime they met, it  was
just  so hard to describe in words​​  those races wherein they were pitted against each other.​

​Tricia was the top choice but Godspell was a close second
favorite in the betting for the simple reason that the latter was
ridden also by a supremo​.
It was a cool afternoon at the Felix Huertas racetrack that day​ -
a perfect day to sit there in the stadium and watch real action.

....."they're all inside now the re.....theyre off....and the lead​  is
......​taken by Tricia by the rail".

​The Gretchen Cojuangco-owned horse showing graceful strides,
.,.with top rival Godspell  running in fifth as  they pass
​the ​judges stand for the first time.  A couple of seconds after
rounding the clubhouse turn, the rare and unexpected occurred.
Godspell suddenly showed burst of acceleration much  too early
in this part of the race as he breathed down the neck of Tricia.

Bong Jesus, whose track alertness can never be questioned,
saw this move immediately.​​​..so he had no choice but to accelerate
on his own discretion.​  The 2 entries were head-to-head even before hitting half-mile.​​  

The backstretch scene was a masterpiece to behold.​
And to the naked eye  of  the  watchers in the stadium,  
​you  could only  see one horse  on that backstretch view  bcoz
Godspell was  the smaller  horse  and  Tricia  was  covering him
pretty well on that neck-and-neck portion of the race ​ which lasted for about  half a minute​.​​​..yes, that is  more than 30 seconds of
hold-your-breath,  neck-and-neck  walang kukurap  action.​

The nip and tuck race ended in the homestretch, where
Tricia swings away by a length.,.and in the final 200 meters
of the race, both runners appeared spent.  But as they
crossed the wire,  that  was  the LOUDEST round of applause
i have ever  heard  at  the Manila Jockey Club stadium.​​​​​​
​​​
​​​



​​​​

.........JE C GUCE.......................................................EC DOMINGO JR.​

.......CANT MISS............VS..........WICHITA LINEMAN
​​​​​

GK# 50


Just a sample from their long list of track battles (1980s). which ​many ​considered as the most  scintillating in recorded history .
Truly a sight to watch, their talent was top of the line.

The experts in the industry described the  charisma and
 excitement of their  rivalry  as one which knows no equal.

​​

Eduardo Jr. rode DIN DIN,BY PASS, AWARD WINNER,
​ and BOLD BOK  when he faced Jesus'    HOW GOOD,
 ​ I LOVE YOU, KAILANMAN   and   HAPPY OPENING.​​
When Boboc won banderang tapos 1800 METERS on
DAYANG DAYANG​, that same day Bong steered SMILING
SATIN to victory , same distance and wire to wire too​.

Boboc skyrocketed to fame atop SPUNKY and likewise
Bong ​ springboarded to popularity  when he floated
on top of  ROBOT.    They had horses too connected like
a password to their names = Boboc with TIME MASTER....
Bong had FAIR and SQUARE......(thanks to wilfredo).
Eduardo Jr. had signature impact horses in FLASH DANCE
and  THRILLER,  and the same goes too for
Jesus  who handled  RED ANNIE  and  MAYON.

But as Tatay said, "everything must come to an end, Anak."
The kumpare status of the 2 superstars  put a final chapter
​on such a splendid, gallant, and powerful  jockey rivalry.
The thrill and​​​​​​​ excitement had to drop  93 to 64 because
the fans knew that when kumpadre system sets in,
the gladiator spirit is gone, intensity becomes a
non-topic , and competition gets way below normal.​​


Rounding the far turn, we see a dark horse  in front
but after a few seconds, CANT ​MISS grabs the lead so easily.
 Then,  WICHITA LINEMAN, coming from 7th position,
suddenly makes that vaunted remate only a Boboc can do.
At the last turn for home, the Lineman slices the right side of
CANT MISS, creates a half-length lead looking poised & strong
to scoring an upset as they entered the homestretch.
The usual cool Bong Jesus, undaunted by what is unfolding,
waited patiently till they reached the final 200 meters.
Then Bong asked CANT MISS for final burst of speed.
And the brave horse responded beautifully to his beloved rider.​
They crossed the wire with a neck margin over WICHITA .
Two seconds later, Bong taps the left shoulder of ec domingo jr.
drawing cheers from the crowd at the stadium in a moment
that will be forever cherished by those who saw
 that tapping scene.
Semi-pandemonium,  a scene so full of drama.
A scene we may never see again.



Wichita Lineman did not win this race here but one thing is sure.
The connections have nothing to be ashamed of.
Boboc gave his  usual best.  He simply showed everyone how to move   like a giant killer, win or lose .
On another note, it may not be the greatest race ever seen on
local turf but to many of their fans, it will always be the most
thrilling, breath-takingly most electrifying race ever witnessed
pitting  the Maestro  versus the Commissioner.​​​​

Past is past.



Nung araw ay talaga namang  napakaraming kalokohan sa  karera, marami talaga, mayruon  yung  nabubulgar, ​ at mayruon  naman
​yuong  naiLiLihim  din.
May anomalya na popular, at mayruon ding  iiLan lang ang
nakaka-alam.​​ Sa katunayan  nga po ay  meron din  akong  alam  
​na  mga  malagim  na  istorya sa  karera  ​and  just like the  ordinary racing fan,  i am  also very  interested and  fascinated upon  hearing  these stories...interested becoz i want to hear the details,  and
fascinated becoz  some are very intriguing and loaded with debate.​


......But just a quick reminder  to  racing fans,
......we  must not forget  to​  differentiate  which of these stories
​......are hearsay.... and which are confirmed to be true.​​


....the baseball bat incident.
....the helicopter incident.
....Winchelles incident.(e.v.andes)
....Our Flag incident (cordizar)
....Prince Cyclone story.​​​
....Amihan-Kalipayan story.​
....Saludo Real , and the riot at MJC
....​Sea Kar. the suspension that shocked the fans
....Golden Ensemble story.​....rcv
....Fireman - story of the century.
....Marble Princess & Windy Whelming​​​ (masiglat & ligueran)
....Last but not least, this incident in the 1990s  wherein a heated argument 
......ignited  between   a philracom ​commissioner and a star jockey
........which  almost  resulted  to  bloodshed.​


​​And thus, we should never forget -
We must  avoid  repetition  of  these bad experiences in  the  future,.
​...and make sure they are experiences to learn from.


GK51















EARLY 1970s
Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary racing
season, something happens when you least expect  it.
A story comes along, a story of gargantuan proportions
destined to be listed in  history as amongst one of the
most  celebrated and intriguing tales of all time. 
Some say that a book must be written and entitled  " The
Life and Times of the Manila Jockey Club", then this story of
Fireman together of course with Del Pilar cannot be omitted.
Its just a pity that only a few of the racing fans, literally 
just a few..... express  concern and interest about  our
historical past ; obviously not realizing that our  past  is
far more beautiful than what their eyes see at present. 


Last Double for the day yun.
Ang nanalo sa Race 17 ay yuong tercero lyamado.
Ang top choice sa Race 18 ay outstanding favorite  --
si FIREMAN, mataas na grupong kabayo at isa sa mga
pinakasikat nung araw, kasing sikat ng mga molang kabayo
tulad nina HARTMOORs JOY at  Winged Heart ni leonardo,
MAGULO JOE ni tonyo  PUEBLO BOY  ni bellen,
CASH n CARRY ni  jesus, TOP d' WORLD,
​ACTION MAN ni bellen,   ​​OCEAN ELEVEN,  COLD CASH  ​ at CAVITE STARLET ni eleng.
Nang panahon nila, kapag ikaw ay namumuro sa ganitong
pagkakataon, para ka lang naghihintay ng dibidendo  at
medio relaxed ka na dahil bihirang-bihira ang natatalo
kapag outstanding favorite nuon.  Wala pa yang mga
Trifecta at Quartet ng mga panahong iyon kaya para sa
mga namumuro sa Last Double ay mumuni-muni na lang sa
bandang itaas ng stadium at naghihintay na lang ng gracia.
Ang mga hindi pinalad ay nagsiuwian na.

Passing by the Judges stand for the first time,
hindi na kailangan tanungin kung sino ang nakabandera.
Lahat ng mata ay nakay FIREMAN na nasa tercero pwesto.
Rounding Far TURn, nakatercero pa rin.,kinakabahan na
ang lahat ng may puro sa double.  Abay likuan na  ay
hindi nagbabago  ang  1-2-3 positions, parang si Yellow Cat
nang ipinakahon.   Kaya papasok ng homestretch  ay
halos atakihin na ang ilang mahihina ang  puso  na
may puro  kay  FIREMAN.-
​walang ipinakitang remate  ang kabayo.​  
Segundong malayo nang Tumawid ng meta si Fireman.

Galit na galit ang mga racing fans  ngunit ang hindi
inaasahan ng marami  ay  ang sumunod na kaganapan.
APOY ang iginanti ng  mga  natalo sa huling 
daily double.
SINUNOG ang San Lazaro  for the very first time  in  its
entire history...

 Law of Averages

​​

 How does it apply ???
it applies to anybody....
One out of ten foulshots in basketball - youre gonna miss.
Rick Barry and Cazzie Russell  were 90% free throw shooters.
One out of four free kicks in football youre gonna miss.
Even if you are a Pele or a Maradona.
You have a powerhouse swimming team in the Olympics,
but this doesnt always  translate to a medal harvest.
One U.S. swim team of decades back  won 3 super events but
lost the fourth event....the 4 X 4  team relay .  They lost to the
Australian swimming team  by   .03  of  a  second  !!!

In horseracing, this is also very true.
You just cant  get away with all your attempted "anomalies".
Even if youre amongst the best, nobody is untouchable.

That is why it  is called Law of Averages
One day  its gonna catch you.
Hindi puede yung lusot na lang ng lusot.
Darating ang araw, mabibingwit ka  rin.
Nakalusot ka 16 beses, kaya akala mo untouchable ka na....
sa ika -17  dyan ka nahuli .

Sa galit ng mga may taya kay Saludo Real, lalong lalo na ang mga
namumuro sa double, pinagbabasag ang TV monitors sa MJC,
awakening the race officials to their senses.

Mantakin mong nagbanderang tapos ang  isang  hindi naman 
kagalingan ​na  kabayong Anthony's Pride. 

During those times, racing  Fans were comparing that  incident 
 to  a  similar incident involving  the other supremo.
At least this similar incident if we try to compare it,
is a bit different...​mahusay sa banderahan  at
magaling naman talaga  yung Red Pass.
Kaya sa palagay lang namin, ay may taya  marahil ang mga
​hurado   kay  Sea Kar...and  naturally  of  course  the  usual
frame of  mind -  if  the  horse loses,  they  will find  a  way  on
how  to  slap  a  suspension  on the  jockey.....tsk.tsk.tsk.​​



GK 53

​​The Story of
PRINCE CYCLONE​



Paminsan minsan,
wag naman natin masyadong  itambak ang sisi sa mga hinete.
Mga tao rin naman sila. ...at walang perpektong  tao.
Isa pa  nasa kabataan sila nuon,   mapupusok.
Hindi nila gaanong sinasa-isip ang mga  desisyon nila.
Madali silang madala sa sulsol,  sa  bulong, sa tukso.
Who knows, in their sleep at night, nagsisisi din naman sila.
Ang iba ay hindi makatulog.....hindi makakain.
Intindihin din natin sila once in a while.
Come to think of it, they did not repeat the anomaly anymore,
ang kasalanan nila ay  hindi na nila inulit or sinundan pa  ng
isang  kasing-bigat  na  ​kasalanan  ,
​ ( similar magnitude)
.

or kinahon......bawas, or  pinang-ilalim,
​.Dont blame the jockey  too much...

....The Legacy......of......BONG ...and.......KIKO



Francisco Fernando was at the height of  his  popularity  during​​​​​​ that time
and the race  somewhat  put a little pressure on his ego, well  that  is  of
course if  Kiko looks  at  it that way.  But  i  think  in the back of his  head
he will just want  to  make  this  race  look like a professor's lesson to his
student​ ​.​

On the other hand, that Guce star was starting to rise as the
racing fans  were sensing  a future track king  in the making.
Belonging to a family whose source of livelihood is horseracing
the father of  Bong Guce is also a rider -  Jockey Eulogio.
And the father of Kiko is likewise a jockey too - Tonyo Fernando,
​​​​​​​​the rider who whips his horse so strong that the fans  can hear the
whip crack HAGUPIT even from homestretch distance.

​​​Now lets just touch on the lighter offenses.​
   Sa MJC tayuman naganap ito....heehee.
Quarto lyamado ang sakay ni rc sare.
Saan ka ba naman nakakita na ang sinuspindi ay ang
nakasakay sa 4th CHOICE in the betting ??
Ang dahilan ayon sa mga hurado - (at off the record pa kuno)
-----Hindi daw nya nilucha yung nakabandera
na segundo lyamadong Hint of Blue, dahilan ito para
makabuo ng ayre si Hint of Blue, at nanalo .
Ang taya ng mga hurado ay natural yuong First Favorite
na deremate na hindi nagtagumpay dahil nga sa
nakabuo ng ayre si Hint of Blue.
Medio nakakatawa talaga itong istoryang ito.
Regarded as one of those forgotten stories,
forgotten and funny.​
