Honest Pleasure

Honest Pleasure (1973–1992) was an American thoroughbred racehorse.

Background

Bred in Florida by Waldemar Farms, he was sired by leading American sire What A Pleasure, out of the mare Tularia, whose sire, Tulyar, was owned and bred by The Aga Khan IV and was a stakes winner in Ireland and England. He was purchased at the Saratoga yearling sales for $45,000 by Bertram and Diana Firestone in 1974.

He was trained by Hall of Fame trainer LeRoy Jolley,

Racing career

Honest Pleasure was a precocious two-year-old and dominated his division. Headstrong like his grandsire, Bold Ruler, he liked to run in front and easily won the Champagne Stakes, Laurel Futurity Stakes, Arlington-Washington Futurity Stakes, and the Cowdin Stakes. At the end of the year, he was named American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt.

1976 brought a rival in Bold Forbes, another colt with a similar ancestry in grandsire Bold Ruler and running style. Bold Forbes had raced only in Puerto Rico as a two-year-old but challenged Honest Pleasure at three.

In December 2003, as Deputy Attorney General, Comey appointed the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, close friend and former colleague Patrick Fitzgerald, as Special Counsel to head the CIA leak grand jury investigation after Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself. In August 2005, Comey left the DOJ and he became General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Lockheed Martin. In 2010, he became General Counsel at Bridgewater Associates. In early 2013, he left Bridgewater to become Senior Research Scholar and Hertog Fellow on National Security Law at Columbia Law School.

text lyrics

Honest James

Come back honest James, come back to your town,
Take your shadow's mistress from our fertile ground.
Never one to cry out, but it's gone on too long.
Every song is empty without your friendly tongue.
Come back honest James; your brother, he is here.
He rode into the darkness and he needs you to be near.
Why don't you just tell him what's inside your heart,
Let love take over; you know the devil just ain't that smart.
