i don't see the big deal at all, and i don't understand why anyone makes it out to be one. like they say, records are made to be broken. so she'll be the barry bonds of horse racing.

See what I mean? This comparison is obviously a huge inflation of her talent. Barry Bonds was - even before the roids - a Hall of Fame type talent. She obviously is not, and yet you are comparing the two.
As for your Dr. Fager example, if she breaks the record, her name won't be listed "next to" Citation, Cigar, etc. She'll be the sole recordholder. And furthermore, yeah, I also wish Dr. Fager was still the sole record holder and didn't have to share anything with an inferior animal.
As a fan of the sport, I like it when deserving horses hold the major records rather than horses that took advantage of a souped up track, or connections that took advantage of ridiculously easy spots.
As I said earlier in this thread, I certainly can't blame her connections, but there is no way I would ever cheer for her to break the record either.
I hope she gets beat.
