I've been a fan of both of their big horses since day one.
Over on our old board I was the charter member of the Barbaro fan club, catching him at huge odds in his debut and gushing over how this turf horse I saw at Deleware was awesome. I actually called him the greatest grass horse I ever saw, and still believe that to be true.
Now these rumors you speak of, you better check out your facts again. I have nothing to do with that radio show, other than a very occasional call in, and never once spoke about a Jackson horse.
If you had a half a brain you'd read my posts on this thread about him.
Keep up the slanderous comments on Dutrow please, I'm sure he could use the money.

I remember you touting him after his debut.. and i remember you getting grief from others for saying how great a grass runner he was as a 2YO...

Yeah, I will never forget his debut. It was a Tuesday or Monday(I remember that because I know Belmont was dark that day) and I was getting beat up playing Calder, FL, Kentucky Downs, and Delaware. There was a grass maiden race at Deleware and in it was a horse by one of my favorite sires(Dynaformer) who was trained by a trainer who I respect and bet a lot, Matz.
He settled off the pace and made one of those crazy turn moves that only great horses make. He was awesome and I bet out on him in the Laurel Futurity. He was the greatest American grass horse I have ever seen.
