About

I'm too good for a bio. Okay, I'm too lazy for a bio. Direct all email inquiries to b-s-d-9-8-7-@-g-m-a-i-l-.-c-o-m.

Follow me http://twitter.com/#!/bsd987 throughout the Triple Crown season. The more I use Twitter, the more I despise it, but I'll tweet all your horse information for the next few weeks.

    Ahh yes. You've told me about that. Sorry to make that mistake twice. I'll talk to my editors about putting that in the Style Guide because I was looking and can't believe it wasn't in there.

    Hi Burton, I've read a few of your articles, and you really seem to know a thing or two about writing and horse racing. I was wondering if you could give my article on the upcoming Woodward a look, and give me any feedback on my writing, or the race. Thank you!
