I've watched 10 million harness races in my career, and I don't think this was a conspiracy. I don't think [Kolbe] altered the outcome of the race. I just think he was dumb.

If it was a big conspiracy, don't you think he would have bet more than $18? And won? There was no million-dollar pool. It was just a kid ruining his reputation and his livelihood.

We don't stand for that here. Whether the racing commission suspends him for 90 days or 900 days, we threw him out and we won't let him come back.

Brian's career is at a very wonderful point now.

Over the years I've had a wonderful career, but it's time to hang it up,

Radio is a transient business and a career was important to me, so I knew I had to do what I had to do to make it. The pay at the beginning is no good but the idea was to move up. I had a family to support so when the opportunities came, I went.
