Default Your vote for Person of the Year.....
Anyone wanna make a nomination?

Mine goes to Ron Geary, owner of Ellis Park, for stepping in and scratching, buying, and retiring 17-year-old warrior Alpena Magic and giving him a new job..... the first Equine Ambassador of Ellis Park.

There was a lot of controvery surrounding this old guy but Mr. Geary single-handedly gave the story a happy ending.

For his act of kindness, his compassion, he gets my vote.

I agree that was admirable, but Geary would get my vote simply for trying the 4% takeout Pick-4!

Yeah because the lawsuit has nothing to do with the decision.

I was thinking about Allam / Premium Tap and your nomination is along the same lines.....

Isn't that just a sad reflection though, that if there really were a POY Award it should be given just because a horse is kept in training?

Not knocking you here... just thinking out loud.

If he's not? if Curlin is not in training next year (... and i only say that because I've grown accostomed to the I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it syndrome), who gets it? Who deserves it?

I would have to say Nick Zito. First of all he is a very great man, very loyal, loving, trustworthy and he even managed to win some races this year.

It would be hard to argue with Ron Geary as the choice, but I'd have to go with Richard Shapiro. He stopped the ADW exclusivity on California racing. I can only hope that others with the power to do so will follow his lead.
