Crist's piece is terrific. It's a shame he had to even dignify the remarks made by hacks like Fountaine and Drape.

On Thoroughbred Champions, they clearly disagree with the article - very surprising how many jumped down his throat. I remember Fountaine's comment about the race - I don't see why that was a big deal to him.

He's compared to Excellent Meeting to Alydar - he's posted about giving his pizza crust to a homeless guy - and he boxes about eight horses a race ... I would also venture to say he's one of the five or ten sharpest posters there.

He has bitter memories of growing up in Ohio - and has never expressed interest in wanting to come here.

However, he has tried to lure me to San Fran in the past.

Nuff said.

Or

Deal with it.

I wish he'd cross on over to the DT side. He was hilarious.

LOL

Now apparently Penny Chenery spoke out against Hancock; the guy must wear a target on his back.

While I completely disagress with Jon White's thoughts on Zenyatta at least he is qualified and respects the counter argument for Blame.. Joe Drape is insane!
