what is up with roman??

[ELA]

There is a big difference between getting publicity and making a bold statement -- or prediction -- that you are going to make your presence felt early on in a race that you don't expect to be around at the finish.

I am all for sportsmen and sportsmenship. However, this has nothing to do with that. Count me as the lone voice or the moral minority of one -- but Mr. Roman's statements concern me, and if he follows through this could be very regrettable. Personally I think the horse has no shot at running and gunning to lead and doing the mambo -- but if the connections try this, it's not sportsmenship -- it is far from it.

Aside from that, I also think the disparaging and insulting comments about, and directed at, Tafel are also not sportsmenship -- maybe some should check the other end of the extreme.
