As for why Vic posted it (here, and every other horse racing message board around), who knows. But it certainly seems like Vic likes the attention this gets him. He's not alone there, we all like attention, but I don't think for one second he was trying to laugh at himself. He posted it because he knew it would draw out his supporters to tell him how great he is.

Mission accomplished.


You're probably right. But there are two sides to every story. Who knows what, if any history there is between these guys or what else happened.

Im not trying to start anything with you here, just want to get that out first. I think your being a bit harsh though. She did not really jump to his defense. She was pretty clear saying hes not my favorite but this is over the top. I actually agree 100%. Im not a huge fan of his, but I don't dislike him for any of his calls. The call in question I don't think was that bad either. He sounds sincere to me. I know darn it is not really the best thing he could have said, but he said it. I don't think its a big deal at all. It feels to me like there is an agenda, something else is going on between the writer and Vic, but who knows. I mean to write that type of an article because of that call seems way over the top to me. As for the other race caller mentioned in the article, from listening to both of them I think Vic is better. I also think Vic is better then Trevor D. He looks like he just jumped in at the quarter pole is getting so played out, I think most people would admit that.

Who am I being harsh to?

The comment about him making this thread to get his supporters to come out is way over the top. Plus theres only 1 example and she did not exactly go tooth and nail to defend him. Its not like 50 people jumped on and said the article is bad and Vic is a god or anything like that.

Did you ever think that maybe you aren't the best judge of what is or isn't over the top?

But, I digress. I wasn't being harsh. I gave my opinion. To me, it's pretty obvious what the motivation was for posting an article that most people would have never seen, and doing it (the exact same way) on numerous boards. Others may disagree and the back and forth about it has been civil enough.

I basicley agree with you about him posting it, it is an odd thread for him to start. And its been totally civil, I just did not see that many people defend him. At the time of my original post I saw 1 person defend him. As for the first comment in your response, I know Im over the top a lot and maybe Im not the best judge.

So what was the point of your post to me if you agree with what I said?

[RockHardTen1985]

I guess the point was I did not really see anyone, but 1 person defending Vic. Her defense was not much at all. Thats all. I should have kept it to myself.
