In 1925, a serviceable first baseman for the New York Yankees named Wally Pipp was pulled from the starting lineup and a little known youngster named Lou Gehrig began his legendary Iron Man streak of 2,130 consecutive games. This week, Ray Paulick ends his consecutive days streak at 1,103 days at the helm of the Paulick Report without a break. (This is a little bit of exaggeration. He has taken weekend off here or there…)

While we don’t expect John to flip this site into the Scheinman Report this week, we do very much look forward to a guest writer giving the site a new feel and persepctive over the week to come. Think of John as our fill-in talk show host for the week.

John will be penning our usual weekly features; The Breeders’ Cup Forum, Keeneland presents the American Graded Stakes Standings, and Three Chimneys presents Good News Friday. Additionally, the Maryland scribe will pontificate about the issues of the day and hopefully start some very interesting discussions about the Thoroughbred industry. And as always, look for this former Washington Post turfwriter and co-founder of Kentucky Confidential to weave his patented sense of humor into conversation. See the video below of Scheinman hunting for Kegasus to get an idea of what we’re talking about.



We are excited to have this opportunity to bring our readers a steady dose of one of the best writers in our industry. And because Ray can’t help himself, we may be treated to a Special Report from Mr. Paulick. By the way, if you see a guy who looks homeless with a funny walk on the streets of Lexington, that’s probably just Ray trying to figure out what to do with his life after realizing how easily he’s been replaced on his own website.
