i think you're taking this WAY too seriously. the sun will rise tomorrow, if she wins or loses next out. 'better' horses than her will never have an opportunity to break the record, as they don't even manage 17 starts any more.
have you ever looked at the world records for various distances? how many are household names? how many can you name without looking them up?

And obviously I am well aware that many other crappy horses have records. So what? Does that mean I have to like it? All I am saying is that I would RATHER have this record belong to good horses than a crappy one. That's it. Why is that so hard to understand? Last edited by miraja2 : 04-29-2008 at 07:33 AM.

i felt the same way about najran when he broke dr fagers record to be honest with you. but then came the realization that it took nothing away from dr fager that he's sharing the time with a lesser horse.

I stopped by Ruidoso Downs in late May on a cross country drive from Gainesville FL to the San Francisco Bay area. It's the 2nd time I've been there, though never for live racing. It's a beautiful little track in a very unique mountain and wooded setting in New Mexico.

I've had Joel Marr and Joe Allen on the show several times during this run, and the two of them couldn't be nicer.. Have been rooting this mare along since the story came to light last year. (And of course I have a kindred spirit in Allen who has a rather famed Barbecue joint in Abilene...)
