Very classless of them to put a picture of Barbaro with his broken leg on the home page. I mean cant they find a picture of somebody else (anybody else) preferrably with 4 healthy legs?

Poor form.

Tim, I have to say that I agree with you. Although the story of Barbaro dominated the headlines for a while in the horse industry and even managed to keep a small spotlight in the general media, one would think they could find a more appropriate picture of Barbaro to relive the 2006 racing season.

just my humble opinion.

Well we are on the same page T3B. This is one of the most dominating KY Derby winners I can ever remember, why not show a picture of him after or during the Derby?

Either that or show a picture of Park Avenue Prince after his victory in today's Gallant Fox

There are too many improvements that need to be made in this game to settle for the status quo. That may be the message.

Anybody who logs on to drf can realize this game is in need of major improvements w/o having to see a horse with a broken leg.

If anybody can see that, then why is it not happening ? It seems that obstructionists and those in denial have a profound effect in this game, still.
