Geez Tim, I don't know. I guess I completely understand falling in love with a horse, I mean, who amongst us didn't grow to love the game because of that love of a certain horse?
I also understand fervent passion and rooting for friends in the game. Anyone who has a friend involved in the game at any level, be it owning or training or riding is always going to root for that person to accomplish things and win.
But I really don't understand an obsession with a group of horses who someone has no connection with(unless they are trying to establish a connection) to the point of obsession. Its as bad as Bold Ruler was the Jackson horses.
