Asmussen winning the Eclipse for Trainer of the Year is an example what's wrong with this sport - they're rewarding the cheaters. This has me a little upset The other trainers were so much more worthy.

Also, for those of you that were watching, how many of you wanted to yell at Jess Jackson, "SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!"

And I really want to like Jess cause I love his horse but jeez... just take your award, say thank you and go back to your table.

Why are the cheaters even eligible?

More worthy based on what?

Asmussen was about a 1-to-5,000 favorite to win that award based on how the voters have historically voted in that category.

I don't know, classier people, they win without cheating... I'm just not a fan of Asmussen and trainers like him... but that's just my opinion.

Asmussen is the single nicest trainer I've ever talked to in terms of being pleasant and engaging.

But yeah, he's been caught cheating before. Not like that was going to matter enough to make the vote close.
