How about Ms. Read instead? Did you catch Hovdey's article on the English Triple Crown the other day? That line containing, "...the Derby's (rhymes with Arby's)..." was killer. Something to aspire to anways. Peace. We out.

Kip Deville gets 1st rate status, yet Einstien gets relegated to second tier? I do not see that big of a gap between these two horses, espically not enough of a difference to call one a 2nd rater, while giving the other "star" status. Einstien is no Satchel Paige, but calling him a Jamie Moyer is an insult. Maybe a Gaylord Perry comparison might fit...

Commentator is a laimo with a lot of talent. Einstein wouldn't win a nice listed race in Europe nevermind a Group 3 Kip Deville is the Okie bred version of Lure I guess lol Music Note is a plodding slug Indian Blessing is certainly a worthy G1 filly and a pleasure to watch Get a grip Steve this a a sorry list.. You forgot Premium Tap and Grasshopper..How could you?

Do you realize I listen to 12 plus hours of ATR a week watch at least 40 races a day.. I love racing as much as anyone Steve. Your love for the game is wonderful as is many of us.. How you can think that list represents anything special is disheartening. Could Einstein get with in 15 lengths of Candy Ride, Would Music Note be close to a Winning Colors. Kip Keno couldn't have qualified for the BC mile in 87..Miesque would have been hosed down before he got to the wire.. Come on and tell it like it is.. Racing hasn't had a real star that wasn't Media made in a while.. Mind you I loved Smarty to death but even he was a bit of a paper tiger. Best horse I have seen in a while is Zarkava..Now that filly was a star

I agree with Steve. The "I was there" card is cool the first few times, and then it just gets old...and makes whoever's saying it seem old too. We get it, the newer horses can never compare to the old....move on already. Some of us appreciate the history, and there's always going to be the wing nuts that think the latest horse is the "best ever", without a clue as to the history of what they're talking about. Educating the younger fans (in a nice way) is the way to go, instead of alienating them...JMO.

Just because nothing I see in the theater these days holds a candle to the eras that produced Citizen Kane, Gone With the Wind, The Bicycle Thief, All About Eve or Sweet Smell of Success doesn't mean there haven't been good films made since that were enjoyable. The experience of the moment is as good as you choose to make it. And I know you love racing...

Sure there are OK movies/horses on the tracks but they aren't stars..In the case of Kip they are bearly squares .. Commentator needs 8-12 weeks between starts and has never won in my memory when he wasnt afford an easy lead and has never won when headed. I get as much pleasure from Reptilian Smarts as I do from a slug like Music Note. At the very least Reptilian fills the box every few weeks and makes a boring Feb. 12 bearable. Watching that one paced Music Note plod past a few distance challenged fillies is painful in a G1. Stars are surely the wrong description. You are fishing and frankly your audience aint buying it.. They know better!
