30 for 30: Charismatic
I was looking over at the 30 for 30 website earlier and I noticed that they've taken down the story on Charismatic and Chris Antley. Wtf?! Has anyone heard anything about it? I've been looking forward to this since last year and now I see it has been taken down. I don't know if they canceled it or are delaying it until next year. What a freakin bummer.

Chris rode at the Spa one summer and I made sure I went a few times, could hear him chatting as he mounted up before a race, very southern accent. He killed himelf "by a blow to the back of the head" after removing a door. Right, sure, well I think the suspect whose car was seen careening from his home had a rich Dad, yes I believe that's how it goes.

In December 2000, Antley was found dead on the floor of his Pasadena, California home. The cause of death was severe blunt force trauma and was investigated by police as a homicide. Later, the coroner's report concluded that Antley had died of multiple drug overdose and the injuries were likely related to a fall caused by the drugs.
sounds fishy to me..

I remember being at the track seeing him win the Preakness and hearing some idiots yelling, "thats a claiming horse! He can't win the Preakness!
No, he WAS a claiming horse IN HIS PAST. Before he won the Lexington. And before he won a little race called the KY Derby. I guess some people are really stubborn to accept change.

This man as talented as he was, as well liked as he was, still, troubled, a drug addict. Yes, a southern accent; he was born and raised in South Carolina and is buried there, as well. Battled drug addiction for many years. Yet, "sounds fishy to me" comes up 11 years out, after the coroner's autopsy and official COD is ruled as multiple drug overdose? Doesn't sound fishy to me, not in the least.
Jog, huh? What part of the ballfield are you tossing from? Talk about conjecture.
Think of a jockey's height--of Antley, whose not straight, loaded on drugs, booze, whatever was found in his system, apparent and determined at autopsy.
Do you know how to remove a door from its hinges? Have you ever climbed a ladder to do this by yourself? Antley, if alone, would HAVE to be on a ladder to even begin to reach the top hinge. Then, step down to reach the lower, and finally lift the weight of the door itself. Granted, if the drugs didn't kill him, yes, a fall from the ladder could've, particularly if the floor was tile or marble, etc. Too, do you know anything about construction? Or, the weight of, let's say, a solid core wood door, as opposed to some cheap hollow core piece of nothing constructed from veneer? Losing his balance, the door falling, causing a blow to his head. This could kill him.
Still, blame the unfortunate death of a drug addict on someone with a wealthy daddy in a car seen driving away from his home? Wow, what a stretch.
Man, only on the internet.

LOLOL I did, Tom, I just back from dinner with a couple of friends. I may even pour me an after dinner drink in a little while. I'll be good tomorrow, I promise.
Sometimes, I just think the internet can be harmful. Its so easy to talk about everyone's screw ups while online, but we're never in that person's shoes. We're just souls (and some days this is questionable) behind a keyboard. One's gotta really be tough to hang. Some days I don't do so good. And for this, I apologize to Hanover1 and to Jog.
