Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ is writing for the Form!!!???

I tend to agree with Crist. I simply don't see a horse, or even a rivalry being the savior (to keep the theme of this post alive) of the game. Curlin has raced 6 times this year. I saw his last 3 races. The sad fact is that a total of only about 39,000 people saw his last three starts.

Sadly, what is "good for the game" and what is good for the varied factions within the game tend to be many different things.

i can. i would be shocked if he won.

She is proven over the surface unlike the other main contenders so she certainly has the home field advantage. I dont think that her going in the Classic would draw more than 12 extra fans or coverage and I dont think it would have any "effect on the sport" but I would be interested to see how she matches up against the big boys.

They can't bear to watch Tiago get smoked.. What does horse of the year mean? Who cares about this crap do trainers get some type of monetary perk for winning HOY? i

Trainers rarely get monetary perks for anything.

It is possible that Casino Drive will be the biggest underlay in the history of horse racing. Honestly, he should be upwards of 50:1.

hoy can add to a horses stud fee-it usually will, altho i think if curlin was to win again he wouldn't see his fee increase, i think he's topped out in that respect. some trainers have gotten a share of a stallion, so yeah, it could pay off if the fee is elevated. then there's getting some publicity for the award, and possibly more owners will send their horses as a result. it sure can't hurt!

Yeah bro Zenyatta winning Horse of the Year would be a huge plus to her stud value. Chuck mentioned in the post above that running Zenyatta in the Classic could get HER HOY..

He's at least 1000 times more likely a winner than that cheap claimer that tried the BC Turf a number of years ago, that went off at surprisingly low odds.

I could care less who runs and who doesn't. I will watch but will wager on Pha pk, Mnr, Haw,and all the other cheap clm and alw racing,tracks that I make money at. Betting these stakes races anytime, is a losing proposition, over the long run. No one can really throw out any horse and make a bet that the odds are in your favor by simple elimanation, and a few real contenders left at a decent price. When you bet and hit a long price you are guessing with these top horses. Every year the pay-offs are huge and the handicapping can't figure this out, if it could then they would'nt paid this well, do yourself a favor and do the doable. Watch enjoy but don't bet like the losers.
