"rooting against" I wonder what that feels like ? Actually rooting for someone to lose.....a new low.

Why would you look forward to such a thing ?

It's a good thing you've never done that.

Never Did, Never will. You should try it. Even if he had the only live ticket for a pick 6 score, I would still root for him, and for you too.
That nitwit who owns California Chrome, is not gonna make me root against him or his big hoss. We are all in this thing together. The stone is heavy enough without others hoping we fail.

Rooting against an individual or team is often quite rewarding as a fan. For example, I thoroughly enjoyed the 2014 NBA Finals and the 2010 BCC....and not because I love the Spurs or Blame.

Default find happiness within yourself

you rooted against a hoss who won 19 in a row passing every hoss she faced, traumatizing many of them forever ? you must feel very proud. you must have been crushed when she rolled by everyone in the classic the year before.

You are so completely full of crap. Do you think anyone on here other than yourself buys your nonsense?

I'll make sure to never cheer for an underdog again.

big diff between cheering for an underdog, and rooting for someone to fail. you're a lot more ignorant than I thought.

Traumatized many of them forever? Good one.
Man, I guess everybody should have been rooting against her if she was such a mean bully that she actually went around purposely traumatizing other horses.

the results speak for themselves, she broke their spirits, like Secetariat did to Sham. Especially that filly who ran her eyeballs out and who Zenyatta through a 28 and change last 5/16 at her to just nail her when impossibly behind.

Looks like Wolfson found a "suitable" new career for him as a stallion. Let's just hope Hill and Dale's soil in the paddocks is hard
