Hoss, LOL. I know exactly what you mean. I don't understand why so-called horse racing fans always want to bash a top performance.

Bogey, I have never figured that one out either, and it makes no sense to me.
The even crazier thing is that about 30 seconds after the race is over they will start saying that he or she will lose the next one!!!! Then they keep saying it until the horse eventually loses, like they all do. Its about the most pointless thing that I can think of to say.

Oracle, They figure that eventually the horse will lose. Hell, Secretriat lost. I guess it's just the world we live in today. They really don't appreciate the sport IMO.

For example, Watchmaker (who's a buffoon) always stated that LITF didn't deserve all the praise. The horse travelled from coast to coast and beat everyone he faced. 2005 sprint champion. Go Figure.

Don't understand it either. These people just don't know how hard it is even to get a horse to the track.....

Once at the track the majority of them run their hearts out for you regardless of their ability. The truly great ones are never appreciated by so many fans.... CQ is an exceptional horse. How can anyone bash him. LITF, a Bay Area hero ran as hard as he could every time out. Does it take a life threatening illness for people to finally come around?

Anyway, as The Bald Eagle once said, never knock a horse until he is dead...

Lets appreciate these beautiful animals for what they are and understand that everyone has a bad day from time to time....
