That's actually an old line and I think it was used with Ralph Kiner by somebody like Casey Stengal.

That will be the person who fires Isiah Thomas.

It would be hard to argue with Ron Geary as the choice, but I'd have to go with Richard Shapiro. He stopped the ADW exclusivity on California racing. I can only hope that others with the power to do so will follow his lead.

Terry Meyocks? Really? What exactly do you know about Terry and why is he on this list?

Huge Gaffe on my part. I meant to write Charles Hayward. WOW. Thanks!

My vote would go to someone who sort of transcended the sport into the mainstream somewhat and that is Calvin Borel.

I think that is a good point. To see him smiling after his wins, and then to have the formal dinner at the White House really did alot for the game to shine in the spotlight of mainstream sports. He is a great vote...

My vote
 
If you want someone who transends the sport my vote would be for the Queen. Having her show up at the Kentucky Derby was an excellent showcase for the sport and puts the finger on why horse racing in England is so so different. It's part of the culture of everyday life, dignified by all, and truely the Sport of Kings.

We need this desperately here. Not sure how, but if we could bring in people or publisize people who would give more honor and credibility to the sport, it would go along way for the future of the sport.
