barf.

I dont know why people in the racing industry think this show should be promoting all the great things involved with horse racing. If you want that, make a documentary for PBS.

This show is about suspense and drama. The setting is a race track. I think the characters are awesome. If people think this show was made to save the racing industry, they are delusional.
Excellent post.

If we want to somehow "save" the industry, embracing what we are goes a lot further than pretending it's all puppy dogs and lollipops.

It was an excellent post - Cot Campbell is getting up there in years, perhaps he really is delusional - and how the hell does he know about the hygiene of Queen Elizabeth and J. Edgar Hoover??? Have known plenty of rich people that stink, literally and figuratively lol..

Maybe Cot would like to see Tootsie play Queen Elizabeth in a future episode.

I thought it was stunning when Ace tore the buttons off his shirt in episode 1. There's a lot of rage beneath Ace's cold demeanor.
