Have either of you heard about the futility of beating a dead horse?

I thought Bob Lewis was great for the game....But why do we have to change the name of these races for people all the time. I'd much rather see races named after horses. Why do we forget what runs this game, the horses. Not the people.

I agree, leave the damn names alone. Thats how you develop tradition.
Nothing against Bob Lewis.

I'm not quitting, but I'll definitely lose my lunch.
