There was a lot of controvery surrounding this old guy but Mr. Geary single-handedly gave the story a happy ending.

For his act of kindness, his compassion, he gets my vote.

I agree that was admirable, but Geary would get my vote simply for trying the 4% takeout Pick-4!

Yeah because the lawsuit has nothing to do with the decision.

I was thinking about Allam / Premium Tap and your nomination is along the same lines.....

Isn't that just a sad reflection though, that if there really were a POY Award it should be given just because a horse is kept in training?

Not knocking you here... just thinking out loud.

If he's not? if Curlin is not in training next year (... and i only say that because I've grown accostomed to the I'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it syndrome), who gets it? Who deserves it?
