On the CBS Evening News right now 6:30 eastern, they are having a story on Nicanor carrying on Barbaro's legend.

Granted, Matz probably has him as ready as possible, and the field doesn't look too strong on paper, but any self-respecting horseplayer has to bet against what might be the biggest underlay in the history of the game.

Obviously.
And yet horse racing is getting great, empathetic, touchy-feely PR on the CBS Evening News right now.

Sorry if I don't think the Friends of Barbaro stuff is good for the game.

It was a great thing for horse racing: showed the horse, talked about Barbaro, interviewed happy friendly fans at the busy crowded paddock of the track on a beautiful Florida day, talked about the Friends of Barbaro TB horse rescue, talked to the smiling Olympic-hero horse trainer, even a final pastoral picture of Lentenor kicking up his heels with mom.
All those casual news watchers whose last dim memory of horses and TB racing was Eight Belles and the Derby and evil horse people that drug horses only to make money. Replaced by this. It's terrific PR for the sport.

i just don't think it's a good thing that the #1 topic of discussion is a horse who broke down and was subsquently euthanized. how does that get people to forget eight belles' ending? i would think it would only reinforce it-along with whatever people got out of that stupid csi show--how many folks think that show is an accurate depiction each week??
