Dear haters and assorted bitter people...

It's embarrassing, really.

Cardus... sorry but you're, respectfully, being a tad presumpteous here.

(I was gonna start this reply with whoa don't be a drama queen but figured you'd get mad).

You're acting like you know exactly who I was talking about.

Stay Thirsty has put in a few really good runs now but he is always overshadowed by something... it's like whatever he does it's not quite good enough.

There are probably more posts about him (sucking) in the Florida Derby (he was what, 7th?) and in THE Derby (12th) than his 2nd in the Belmont (and certainly in the Hopeful).

(For the record I did refrain from doing a nah nah na nah nah thread after Belmont. I'm a moron, I know).

He's not a world beater or anything but i was really so happy that he won here and remember him being called, well.... names... so why not?

Other 3 years olds are ****ing annointed all the time... he's just a pretty nice horse. What's the harm?

We don't always see eye to eye but hey i stil remember you talking about Mustard and hitting that huge score years ago with him and Dance the Waves. I may not always agree with you but I do respect you and if I were gonna call you in particular a hater i would do it directly and not in a vague way (cause you're a man and I think you could handle it).

(Unlike a few others here...)
