I believe there is a Franklin, Kentucky too. But I won't insult it and the people who live there. I've never been there . . . and they could all be fine warm generous people.

Not that he stands a snowball's chance in hell of winning but it would be an asbsolute joke if they gave it to a horse who is most famous for breaking his leg. Why not just give it to Donovan McNabb for blowing out his knee? No horse should even be considered for this award until they win the Triple Crown.

no, he'd win it for being a top notch kentucky derby winning horse who then survived an injury that most would not have.
nice attitude.

Sorry but that isn't Sportsman of the year. If they have an award for Inspirational Athlete of the Year then he should absolutely be a candidate. Sportsman of the Year though, no way. Heck, he's not even Horse of the Year or 3yo of the Year.
