All of a sudden the editors from Bloodhorse...

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned page 2 of the article.

I didn't even notice that typo.

The whole of page two is pretty insipid.

While the article was extremely funny in a very sad way - being Insipid and having an obvious typo in a title are among the kindest things you can possibly say about it.

19. BIRDSTONE
He's here not just for his stunning upset that denied Smarty Jones the 2004 Triple Crown (after which trainer Nick Zito said to Smarty's John Servis, "I'm sorry'"), but for his impact in the breeding shed. In 2009, Birdstone's progeny won two legs of the Triple Crown, as Mine That Bird stunned the field in the Kentucky Derby and Summer Bird won the Belmont.

Madaglia D' Oro and Street Cry were both clearly better horses and have been better sires than Birdstone .. and they didn't make his list.

However, the fact that anyone would rate race horses on the basis of how well they've done as stallions is extremely sad.

Spectacular Bid was 24-for-24 between the distances of 7fs and 1 1/4 miles - he won 14 Grade 1's - set a slew of track records and not only had ran the fastest ragozin sheet figure on record ... but his fastest rag number stood for over 20 years.

Bid was an absolutely terrible sire. Is that supposed to diminish him as a race horse?

Even though Distorted Humor got obliterated against Skip Away and Formal Gold ... is he somehow better than them as a race horse because he's been a super stallion and they've sired a bunch of turds?

I do agree on one award they gave out.

Worst Invention: Synthetic tracks.
Although I don't think they were invented this decade....maybe mandated.

I think this guys top 20 list deserves to win the award for worst invention of the decade.

She's nice....but she's no Lexus.

I had a 10 minute conversation with a really cute sandwhich artist today ... and she gave me free food.

I felt loved.

I agree his list is an embarrassment. I love Funny Cide, but there are horses that are better than him.

I also don't agree with giving the blimp cam an award, since the blimp view has ruined the live race by making it impossible to see where your horse is.
