Turn it over to the true horse person...The Bettor..now that would be something huh...

Scat

He is also a coward... He continues to say he is voting for her, but he is betting with a friend that she wont win. Way to stand behind your opinion.

Are you talking about the caller who actually seemed angry and said he would give the game up if Zenyatta got it?

people are so prone to hyperbole, if there really was a caller that said that...the game doesnt need an idiot like him.

there have been far less deserving year-end award winners in sports.

A man towards the end of the show called and really did sound angry... He went on and on about Blame should get it, then said If she wins it I am done with this sport. Kling had no real reasson to why he is voting her, just that he is, but he will bet against her winning it.

i think its great people are so passionate for either, but really, people take it too far. if zenyatta wins it, the racing "purists" feel is disrespectful to the game....if blame prevails, then the writers are disrespecting her accomplishments. HOY 2010 will not be the downfall of the game that has been around since the 1600's.

that's just my opinion. all i know is that real supporters stick around no matter what. i have just as much fun at evangeline downs as i did at the bc (albeit, the class of horses was much diff)

hopefully, derbytrail.com will be able to move on from this topic pretty soon!
