Paynter wins the Vox Populi

This seems to be a tremendously popular win with old women on Facebook.

“Horse racing already has established avenues to award outstanding accomplishments, and we certainly should honor superior performance. But achievement can be measured in many ways, and fans occasionally feel a disconnect when the horses who most impacted the public are not recognized through the traditional equine awards. The industry is long overdue in annually acknowledging the star horse who brings the most excitement and attention to the sport.

This lady looks like she got zapped with Billy Patin's buzzer.

They should give an award to the horse who overcomes the most negative barn switch.

I can't believe all the nonsense I heard about how The Lumber Guy was like a lateral move going from the Husion barn to the Drydale barn -- the former barn is an ROI kingpin, and the latter barn wins at 6% with sprinters.

I'd love to see a heartwarming story of like some 3% trainer whose horses deteriorate -- take one off of Scooter Davis -- and somehow hold its form for an entire season.

I know you were the one to give her the "Like" vote.

Personally I always felt that any trainer getting a win with a Karakorum horse deserved an award. Got to be a couple of those still kicking around.
