Live your life, so that whenever you lose you are ahead -Will Rogers
We honor the memory of Oklahoma's
beloved native son. A modest, unspoiled
child of the plains, cowboy, actor, humorist and world traveler whose homely philosophy and superior gifts brought laughter and tears to Prince and Commoner alike. His aversion to sham and deceit, his love of candor and sincerity, coupled with abounding wit and affable repartee, won for him universal homage and an appropriate title,
Ambassador of God's will

THE CHEROKEE NATION

The 67th Anniversary of his birth.'

Will Rogers Downs: Safe Haven for Frog Juicers?
Quarter horse trainer Jeffrey Heath Reed was suspended 21 years by the New Mexico Racing Commission stewards on Oct. 1 after four horses from his barn tested positive for the Class 1 drug dermorphin, commonly called frog juice, in futurity trials at Ruidoso Downs May 25. A fifth frog juice positive was dismissed because the sample label was unclear. One of those horses trained by Reed, Jess A Zoomin, later broke down and was euthanized after winning a trial for the All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs on Aug. 16.
On Oct. 19, Reed New Mexico district judge Carl J. Butkus issued a temporary restraining order and an injunction against the New Mexico Racing Commission from enforcing its penalties against Reed. Other trainers who received dermorphin suspensions received similar TRO's and injunctions. Some equine drugging cases have been tied up in the New Mexico court system for years, much to the frustration of the New Mexico Racing Commission.
The injunction means stewards in any state are unable to prevent Reed and others from participation. However, New Mexico racetrack owners have told Reed and other trainers with Class 1 violations they are not welcome. Remington Park in Oklahoma City similarly told Reed he is not allowed to train or enter horses there.
Nonetheless, Reed has found a safe haven, at Will Rogers Downs near Claremore, Okla., a track owned by the Cherokee Nation tribe and named for Oklahoma's favorite son, a humorist who probably wouldn't find anything funny about this sorry state of affairs.

Steve Wariner - Best of Inside Music Row 1338
Steve Wariner was having so much fun putting out instrumental albums that he just didn't think about putting out a non-instrumental project for almost eight years. Fans looking for more incredible songs like 'Holes In The Floor of Heaven' and 'Two Teardrops' won't be disappointed with the album he put out in September. 'It Ain't All Bad' certainly takes a look at the brighter side of life. Here's Kelly with more.
