Are you bragging, or not?

Are you bragging, or not?

“I don’t hate to brag, but I know she’s one of the best fillies. She’s maybe the best filly, but unfortunately she doesn’t know it.”

— trainer Jimmy Takter after Good News Lady won the Jugette in Delaware, OH in 2008. Takter actually said, “I don’t hate to brag” (it’s clear as day on the tape), but since English is not his first language we choose to believe he meant “I hate to brag”. Either way it’s great. For many reasons, great quotes being one of them, Takter is one of our all-time favourites.
