Kasept has a big fan.
 

old news

Geesh, if you're going to try to slam someone, at least proof-read beforehand!

Besides, I reasoned that the 30 or people who actually listen to his program couldn’t sully my reputation any more than I’ve done to myself over the past four decades.

Stevie, the good lord knows I'm the biggest b!tch in the land, do you want me to protect you?

I like how his first like six paragraphs are about playing the victim, then he goes and does to kasept the exact same thing he's accused our beloved forum owner of doing.

And Smoothie weighs in - the only thing missing is using the "Goldilocks" nickname:

Well Said, what with Zenyatta’s great accomplishments, she should be Horse of the Year, she won the Classic last year, however was beat out by Rachael Alexandra and rightfully so. This year however the difference is a 19 race undefeated record. Sure Blame is a great horse, as is Goldikova. Why didn’t Goldikova enter one of the races Zenyatta ran in? To make the comparison that Goldikova ran against the boys in Europe is simply nonsense...I’m sure Zenyatta would have passed them all as well....They could have all came here to run where they fit and if they fit in the G 1 races where Z ran, so be it.
The argument being made against Zenyatta is she didn’t run in races with the boys in 2010. My answer is, she did last year and won commandingly. Adding more to that argument is just how convincingly she beat horses in the BC like Looking for Lucky, Quality Road and all the others she flew by...Then there’s the argument she was washed up, not so, she has more racing in her, however that remains in the hands of her owners. I would like to see Zenyatta run again, I beli

I love it when you talk dirty..lol

Pricci is a complete fraud

He really takes Steve Crist to task with this quote.

“It would only make a travesty of an awards process that is supposed to be ruled by fairness and reason rather than revenge and sentimentality,” wrote columnist Steven Crist.

That really shows Steve Crist to be an unreasonable buffoon.

What a ****ing idiot.

Put them in a room let them punch it out

:eek::D

But Sighty now you know that's not "cricket" to say.:p

Actually, apparently I'm missing something here, this is coming up today because the race was almost 2 weeks ago....?????

I love all of the comments claiming Crist knows nothing about horseracing.

The people listed as knowing nothing about horse racing in the comments section would include Beyer, Crist, Byk, Dave Johnson, Watchmaker, and Serling. If I were writing a bible on handicapping, at least five of those names would be books of the gospel.

Like most sources of smear and firestorm inviting outlets, this is a bizarre and sad spectacle Pricci has created. He gets nothing right as he clearly received all the supposed innuendo secondhand acknowledging that he has no idea what I actually said because he didn't bother to actually listen.

He was never called a moron by me, which seems to be his pressing agenda, though he has provided plenty of fodder for that now. On the Monday after the Personal Ensign, on TV and on ATR, I said, "calls on the internet for Rachel Alexandra's immediate retirement based on her tiring late in the race are moronic. Is anyone suggesting Life at Ten immediately be retired?"

At that time a comment writer at his website told Pricci that I had called him a moron to which Pricci then wrote several insulting things directed at me. I thought that silly and petty, but never said a thing about it. Pricci has seen me 3-4 times since then and not said a word, but obviously he has been laboring under the weight of this imagined slight.

So three months later here is this deranged and stunningly incoherent missive making little sense about anything except how anyone that has any dissenting opinion regarding Zenyatta's immortality deserves excoriation. I won't dignify his lunacy with any further comment, but I will say it's one of the greatest compliments to my career thus far to be included in a grouping with Andy Serling and Steve Crist, as well as fellow SiriusXM broadcasters Bill Finley and Dave Johnson.

Yeah - I get a kick out of him painting himself a victim before going on attack.

After which he wraps it up by asking a lot of pointless questions.

I will attempt to answer them all.

No

Not specific enough. What other site? What distance? What surface? Is this a match race? If not, who else is in the field?


What kind of a stupid question is this? A combination of Quality Road having pace pressure and turning in a non-effort is the reason why he ran last - finishing a city block behind the immortal Oklahoma Derby winner Pleasant Prince. One should make of the Whitney that it featured the 2nd best collection of horses for a North American race this year behind the BC Classic.

Haynesfield won the JCGC because he was loose on an uncontested lead. He was 11th in the Classic - because he was involved in a pace battle.


Yes.

No.

Sure. Zenyatta's never lost on synthetics and won the '09 BC Classic over it. Blame has had some of his best moments at Chuchill Downs.

You have to be more specific. What about 4 Grade 1 victories - 3 over females by a female and 1 over males by a female? That was Proviso. Is there like some point system you're looking for?

That streak extended over three seasons. I think she's a cinch for a 'Horse of the last 3 years' award.

Hell no.

Yes. So did Rachel Alexandra...is that supposed to mean she should be considered in the Horse of the Year voting this year?


Sure.

I suppose.


He should have just stuck with the woe is me and Kasept sucks routine...instead of asking a bunch of aimless questions.

After 5 years with the Joseph Conrad quotation as my sole signature, I may have to use this... with your permission of course Doug.

Feel free.

Being liked is overrated.

more like 3

108 comments...2 funny!

Well said.

I wonder if he realizes just how much time and energy you have spent being a HUGE Zenyatta fan. Actually who cares fvck him. The people that matter know were your heart is!!

who the heck is the Pricci guy anyway?

and yes, Steve, you should definately take that article as a compliment, considering who you are mentioned along side!

Hypocrisy at its finest! My Mommy told me never to criticize anyone in my profession (which is actual sound advice, though it doesnt seem to apply to racing- I believe that is because the nature of pari-mutuel betting)... then goes on to criticize 5 people in his profession!! (well maybe its his profession, but he doesnt seem to be much good at it)

Ala the famous Kent D. Bermuda rant....

He couldn't even get that right. That phone call happened in May FFS.

Steve,
I got your back till the end.

I didn't listen to it, but how was it a failure of Steve's when Kent has publicly stated he has an issue?

I just cant believe the ejit wrote a whole article about a radio segment he admits to never listening to!


:zz::zz::zz:

Nice call on Quippery!!

The Kent D interview was classic radio. FFS the guy was on vacation give him a break.

Some of those comments are a little over the top. #109 in particular.

An Italian harping on a Jew! How historic!

He's been around a long time. He was a guest on Inside Racing more than a few times in the 90's.

Smooth Operator has made an appearance in comment #112.

You probably know him through his DT Board name...Smooth Operator

[quote=GBBob;724935]not enough LOL's in the column.

also didnt use the word Goldilocks!

Though Booth did make some appearances in the comments

Booth and Pricci seem to be on the same intellect level (not that I can talk)

Even more so are hand wringing and whimpering drama queens - they have been around since the start of the Agricultural Revolution more than 10k years ago - when human beings were able to produce enough food to sustain such babies.

Poor guy thinks Kasept and BTW have him in mind whenever they state their opinions on the air .. like they're studying his work and have some agenda to make him look bad.

Pricci's level of intellect FAR exceeds Smooth Operator's. He was actually a pretty decent horse racing analyst at one time ... however, I believe there is no fire left in his tank, that there is nothing left to prove, and now he's like watching a champion boxer fight beyond his prime, that, in short, he deserves better and deserves to go home.

:tro:

!!OOOOOOOOOO!!

He's done enough?

I was unaware that John Pricci was a teenage girl...
