I too heard the dunkirk arguments and especially felt bad for the caller. For many it is a hobby, as people have real jobs with real stresses and are looking at it as a release not as a profession. I thought the caller made many good points in terms of QRs running style and how it fit with other derby horses versus dunkirk's who may be more favorable pace wise and Steve went over the top with the get a new hobby comment.

There have been many horses who have closed street sense, monarchos, giacamo, fupeg etc that the caller's points were not so out of left field. I agree with tjfrab that it came across as a dunkirk bias. Not sure if its an anti pletcher thing cause of his comments or the price tag on the horse but thats how it came across. I too remember the bet my mortgage against him comment so there's been a precedent for that anti dunkirk stuff for a while now. I agreed with Haskin's take in terms of focusing on the horse.

As for Jon White, not only on hrtv was he touting potn again but he said he thinks hes gonna win the triple crown. I felt bad for the poor girl too that had to work for him. I think Steve should give him a hard time with that similar how he was to the caller on dunkirk or haskin or lauren stich. All Jon does is bring everything back to potn this and potn that. You want to talk bad radio...thats bad radio. I need more objectivity from him.
