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!

I think post 1 in this thread is my best post ever.

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...c+handicappers

I also think Serling not being #1 is the reasson why I was snubbed in the Breeders Cup Live Chat, and the reasson Im ignored on DT. He holds a grudge.

Im more concerned with who wins the Remsen and Cigar Mile next weekend.
I would rather follow how the 2yr olds run at the Big A and Churchill the next couple weeks.
I dont really care about HOY, how does everyone else feel?
Amen!

Who was NFL MVP last year? better yet, who cares!

Poor andy. First he is called an idiot on the air and then he is ranked low on the RHT1985 public handicapper rankings

You listed 2.5 jews and 2.5 italians in your top 5.

Is that really likely?

Where else was she going to finish? That field behind her was abysmal.

He was a decent horse on his days but really...

shouldnt you compare bc classics to bc classics and triple crowns to triple crowns?

If a horse is being touted as getting racing more positive exposure than any horse in recent memory, why shouldnt you compare ratings? Of course the Derby will have higher ratings but isnt that a valid argument? If one horse is watched by 50 million people and another is watched by 3 million, which provided more exposure? It isnt to compare ratings as much as it is to show the folly of saying that she provided more exposure for racing than any number of recent TC contenders when clearly far more people watched the TC races.

I think we really need to wait until the end of the year and see how much money "Secretariat" makes at the box office. He might mean more to racing than Zenyatta this year and he should probably be HOY 2010.

I think she has earned it, just on the "Mt. Splashmore" factor of her fans if nothing else.
