It is hack journalism, that's how. Very few racing writers, and I'd make that none, save some of the DRF, Bloodhorse and TTimes writers, actually earn a living from their writings. The ESPN "Contributors" like Plonk certainly fall into the hack category. He's just doing what I assume is a free gig to get his junk ass tout sheet on the ESPN site.

Way too much phony "press" in the internet/cable world doing what they can to get any piece of pie. Being a decent reporter has nothing to do with it.

The same goes for Dickinson, only triple.
