Crist's piece is terrific. It's a shame he had to even dignify the remarks made by hacks like Fountaine and Drape.

On Thoroughbred Champions, they clearly disagree with the article - very surprising how many jumped down his throat. I remember Fountaine's comment about the race - I don't see why that was a big deal to him.
