If you could somehow work Randy Moss or a TVG contest into this thread it might be the best thread ever.

If Randy Moss had a surgery -- the press who covers the NFL would report about it...because they have a habit of doing their job.

TVG contests don't exist anymore.

Not bad, not bad at all.

You know I'm just busting balls and I wholeheartedly agree about the horse racing media in general. Not all, but most are piss poor to be nice. Things like these surgeries should absolutely be reported on.

But, I think you're exaggerating a bit on some things here. Sassy's Image wasn't easy to have, but she also wasn't as impossible as you are making her seem. I didn't bet her, but if you were taking a shot Hilda's Passion would not replicate her Gulfstream races, she was a viable candidate.

Every article that was written about the Humana Distaff -- including DRF and Bloodhorse didn't mention a single word about her.

DRF did a 7-minute handicapping video on the Humana Distaff... and the two handicappers went over every other horse in the race except her. They even spent over a minute talking about the Sunland Park invader. Not one word about Sassy Image in the 7-minute video ... and no knock on them .. because there was nothing to say other than "why is she entered here?" It was a rare Grade 1 for female sprinters ... and she didn't have a top four finish in a stakes race anywhere in a year and a half.

I agree on this 1. Vs that company, with her form and the layoff she had no right winning that race. I dont think your going over the top at all. The 89 top beyer says it all, dont we all love beyers around here?

She missed a year. You keep ignoring it, but it's important.

Again, not easy to have, but I don't think she was impossible.

When I think of putover, I think of Pretty Boy Freud on the Travers undercard. Who ironically also had an unreported surgery prior to the race.

Putover, to me, is any horse who wins while obviously backed with insider money or for reasons not visable in anyway on paper.

We disagree that she was totally unplayable on paper. No big deal.
