This seems like an awful lot of hullabaloo about nothing. So Todd told some guy fo F-off. Oh my God! That has surely never happened at either the racetrack or anywhere else in life. So, somebody repeated it here. Wow...that's just horrible. Maybe that poster wanted to slightly clarify what he perceived was a slightly skewed public image of someone he has PUBLICLY seen another side of. Can't see what's wrong with that. Maybe Todd would be happy that people got to see that he isn't always Mr. Goodytwoshoes.
What I find interesting is the outlandish praise for people by posters for pretty much no other reason than they personally like them. Hey, I'm all for defending one's friends, and I do it all the time, but let's keep just a little perspective here. There are more than a few performances on the racetrack these days that beg questions.
On that note, how can anybody not at least question Anew at this point, in light of Steve Assmussen's recent suspension. Perhaps he did find the proverbial answer to this horse, but he was floundering in 25K claimers and suddenly became perhaps the top sprinter in the country. Why shouldn't we be at least skeptical? If you truly view many results over the past 5 or more years and don't at least have SOME suspicions, whether founded or unfounded, then you really aren't paying attention.
