I've seen a sample of some of the lunacy from there. I would rather drop the toaster in the bathtub than be forced to spend any time there.

I give the guy (Porter) some credit though...I think he actually arranged a huge BBQ get together for all of the fans on the site back when Rocky was still training and asked Servis to answer questions and such. He also gave away two tickets to the Breeder's Cup in some sort of raffle. May not be everyone's thing, but most owners would rather retire their horse for a large stud fee than have them endure the hardship of having a fan following. For whatever reason his horses get a cult like following. This past JCGC day there was a group of people cheering on "Roundy" in the paddock.

Yeah he has done some pretty nice things to bring the general public behind the ropes, so to speak. It started before Rockport Harbor was hurt and just kinda grew. Most of the reason was Servis had just finished his run with Smarty and people joined for that more than any reason. But Porter has done some pretty cool stuff...raffling off saddlecloths, pictures, '05 BC box seats, site member outings, etc....

LMAO! Seriously, where do you get these from? I still LMAO about the one where you said (and please allow me the liberty to paraphrase):

"you have a better chance of you, me and Bea Arthur doing an Ethel Mermen routine in the swimming pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel"
