I applaud Gary Stevens for writing that letter. Thank heavens he did. Very well written...

Hooray for Gary, I loathe Simers, he is lost in the thought that being outrageous is cool, when in reality he simply isn't passionate, intelligent or insightful enough to be a real journalist. He's the reason there are more horse's asses than horses.

It made me think of that stupid article on Salon.com on Barbaro some months back. Why, oh why will news outlets publish pieces on racing written by people who know nothing about the sport? Good for Gary Stevens.

Outstandingly well written letter by G. Stevens, and I applaud him for writing it it. This Simers (Slimers sounds more appropriate), sounds like a real dirtbag! I haven't had the missfortune to read even one article of his, and doesn't sound like I've missed a thing!
