Todd Shrupp is by far the worst person covering horse racing on the whole planet. Besides being annoying as hell the guy has a horrible opinion. It was great seeing him on ESPN trashing War Pass saying the horse wasnt much and would NEVER get the distance. They shoulda had him on after the race. Todd Schlupp is the exact reason tv remote controls have mute buttons....they should replace the button with a picture of his face. He actually made Hank Goldberg look good.....and that aint easy.

and run uphill at some tracks.

no one can seriously argue that slower times in europe at equal distance means euro's are slower than american grass horses.

it's like saying $20 is the same as 20 euro's.
